Conservancy Recycling System

The Conservancy Recycling System is an arresting combination of high form and humble function. The award-winning design, inspired by the classic 1930s Central Park bench, cleverly turns the hooped arms and seat slats of the original on end, re-envisioning them for a new purpose. The diagonal tilt of the slats, the spiral flow of the lid, and the placement of typography all draw the eye up to the receptacles aperture, providing visual prompts for appropriate use. The Conservancy Recycling System consists of three Litter Bin Recycling Units which are identical in size and shape, but different in terms of colour and the size of top openings; for example, grey for cans and bottles; Conservancy green for paper; and tan for waste. The cast aluminium elements have a hinged top and hold a polyethylene liner that can be used with or without a plastic bag, making them easy to service. The Conservancy Recycling Systems vibrant and original design has earned it multiple accolades, including GOOD DESIGN, SEGD, the Spark Design Silver Award and a prestigious Cannes Gold Lion, a Cannes Festival of Creativity Award in the new Social Good product category.
