Even the best intentions to stay sanitized in otherwise infected, urban environs might not be enough, unless we know how to go about it. Our lifestyle that generally revolves around apartments, urban surroundings and public places, strongly solicits a proper food waste disposal system in all of these places to help users and these places remain untainted. Korean designers Kyung Hyun Kim + Kim, Kyung Hyun + Lee, Wonjun + Lim, Hee-Jun have come up with a concept food waste disposal system, dubbed GrowGreen, for use in public places.


Made of eco-friendly, biodegradable material (PLA), the disposable bins could be filled and thrown away in comparatively larger public bins. Available in three colors, each shade indicates the destination (feed, compost or energy) of the recycled waste. Whenever a user fills the bin with trash (food waste), a metaphoric tree grows as feedback.
