Recycle Origami
Imagine putting all your unwanted trash papers into this recycle bin, and it spits out a trendy trash bin or stool made out of that same discarded paper. Call it Origami magic or Paper Mache wonders, but I think it’s an awesome game plan. The paper dumped into the Waste Paper Recycle Trash Bin gets mixed with “668 polyvinyl alcohol environment cement”, and is compressed into the trash-bin form.
The recycle bin for its eco-conscious, part features a touchscreen navigation display, a slot on the top for you to slide in the paper sheets, a cement-mixture-pouring-in compartment and thermovents at the back. The body is constructed out of aluminum and biodegradable plastics, but its unclear how the system runs or how does it source its power.

Nice, not just for trashcans,I can see different molds being sold for different products being spit out.. this is sweet.
maybe even lego like pieces that you can stack, re-stack into shelves, doghouse, sculptures, this baby’s got mad potential.

I think the tapered edge on the front of the bin is quite elegant and allows it to fit in with the modern design movement
