Bachelor Assignment

The single compartment pedal bin is a relatively simple product we use in our daily lives, yet some competitors perform better in this market than others. This leads to the client and research question of this assignment: What factors affect the successful design of an indoor trash bin, and how can these factors be implemented into the products of Homra?

Through taking a redesign approach by analyzing the competitors' products, the users, type of trash and sustainability, the fundamental factors of a successful trash bins design can be determined. Of course, as the product will be developed for the brand Homra, a design and company analysis are required to implement the design philosophy into the product. In the end a feasible conceptual 3D CAD model is developed, which Homra can use as a basis for a new production model.
