Bin Bin

Traditional waxed cardboard produce boxes can't be recycled, creating 600,000 tons of cardboard in landfills annually. Bin Bin is a closed-loop produce bin system which combines the lightweight convenience of cardboard produce boxes with the durability and utility of plastic bins into one highly flexible, plant-based plastic bin. Manufactured from Ingeo, a C2C certified plastic of 100% renewable resources, BIN BIN is used for stocking, shipping and display, eliminating the need for cardboard boxes and elevating the aesthetics of a small food grocer's display.

Bin Bin is a closed-loop produce bin system which combines the lightweight convenience of cardboard produce boxes with the durability and utility of plastic bins into one highly flexible, plant-based plastic bin. Manufactured from Ingeo, a C2C certified plastic of 100% renewable resources, BIN BIN is used for stocking, shipping and display, eliminating the need for cardboard boxes and elevating the aesthetics of a small food grocer's display.

Bin Bin is owned by small green grocers and distributed to their local produce farmers. The farmer utilizes the containers for both storage at the farm and transportation of produce back to the grocer.

By using BIN BIN the need for new cardboard boxes each week is eliminated and the store display is easily organized and made uniform, customizable, and beautiful. The stocked bins go directly onto the produce shelves as display while empty bins go back on the farmer's truck for use at the farm, thus completing the exchange loop.

This design was recognized as a finalist in 2017 Cradle to Cradle Product Design Challenge VI finalist.
