A kitchen may be a small portion of your home yet this is where most of the household waste is produced. Trash bins make it easy to manage and contain kitchen waste but the problem is they are difficult to hide away in a kitchen.
That is where the cabinet trash bin comes in and this modern trash management option makes it easier to keep unsightly kitchen trash hidden inside a cabinet. Since trash can cabinet are fixed inside the cabinet they are made from durable material so you don’t have to replace them often. At Hench Hardware we manufacture high-quality cabinet trash bins using specialised plastic material that is different from regular plastics. We have created this article to give our customers an insight into the specific plastic material we use for manufacturing cabinet trash bins so keep reading.
PP or Polypropylene is one of the best materials for making lightweight yet durable cabinet trash bins. PP is a form of plastic that has a comparatively lower carbon carbon footprint compared to other forms of plastics. Since PP plastic doesn’t produce toxic gases when burned it is easier to dispose of.
At Hench Hardware we strive to manufacture products that have a reduced environmental impact but at the same time offer easy maintenance and durability. We use PP and PLA plastic materials for manufacturing
because these plastics are lightweight, easy to maintain, and last a long time. Since a trash can cabinet has to come in contact with potentially corrosive waste plastic material makes the bin resistant to corrosion.
Unlike brittle materials such as metals plastic trash bins tend to withstand environmental factors and corrosive waste better. So choosing trash can cabinet made out of plastic material is going to make sure you get a long-lasting trash managment option for your kitchen.
A cabinet trash bin made out of PP or PLA plastic offers many advantages. Here are some key benefits of using a plastic:
Since a cabinet trash bin is meant to be installed inside a cabinet and they are mounted on drawer slides keeping their weight low is essential. A heavy trash can cabinet made out of metal would put more stress on the drawer slides and therefore wear out faster.
PP and PLA plastics are known for their lightweight construction yet they are durable enough to withstand everyday kitchen waste disposal applications. Not to mention a lightweight plastic cabinet trash bin is going to be easier to operate. So if you have children who will be using the trash can cabinet then a lightweight plastic option will offer effortless closing and opening.
Regular cleaning is the only maintenance you will need to perform on a cabinet trash bin and with plastic trash bins cleaning is as easy as it gets. Unlike metals plastic doesn’t rust if washed frequently with water which means you can wash them daily and keep the odours away.
Our high-quality trash can cabinet are made with smooth washable plastic so you don’t have to spend too much time cleaning your bin.
PP plastic is known for its ability to perform well in corrosive environments without rusting or losing its finish. Since kitchen waste often contains highly acidic elements such as parts of citrus fruits, sauces, and pickled items plastic trash bins are ideal for sorting and managing kitchen waste.
Our high-quality cabinet trash bins also do well in humid environments as they don’t absorb moisture or get distorted. So you won’t have to worry about damaging your cabinet trash bin by putting corrosive waste if you choose our plastic-made products.
Despite their lightweight plastic-made trash bins don’t dent or break easily. PP and PLA plastics we use for manufacturing cabinet trash bins are high-density varieties designed specifically to resist damage. Plastic material can withstand impacts, extreme weather, and overfilling. Since the plastic bin is flexible it doesn’t crack under stress instead it will adapt to the stress and return to its original shape once the load is removed.
We thoroughly test every product we manufacture at Hench Hardware for durability and strength and our range of cabinet trash bins is no exception. All our trash bin options are built to the highest standards so they never get damaged during everyday use.
# Environmentally Friendly
Even though PP is not 100% biodegradable it is still less harmful to the environment compared to most other types of plastics. So when you buy a cabinet trash bin made out of PP or PLA plastics you are actually buying a low carbon emission product.
PP and PLA are two of the most commonly used plastic types that are used for manufacturing cabinet trash bins. While both materials are essentially plastic they exhibit different properties. We offer both PP and PLA plastic bins and here are the differences between these two materials:
# Ecofriendliness
When it comes to ecofriendliness cabinet trash bins made from PLA are biodegradable which means they don’t remain in landfills for hundreds of years. On the other hand, bins made from PP plastic aren’t biodegradable.
# Durability
While both PLA and PP-made cabinet trash bins offer high durability PP plastic material is more elastic and therefore can withstand high loads. On the other hand PLA plastic trash bins are ideal for situations where elasticity isn’t a necessary property.
# Lifespan
The expected lifespans of both PP and PLA plastic cabinet trash bins are almost the same. However, trash bins made from PP plastic may last slightly longer with proper care and maintanance.
Conclusion
Plastic is the most suitable material for household and commercial trash can cabinets due to its ease of maintenance and long life. If you install a plastic cabinet trash bin in your kitchen you will never have to worry about the bin breaking, leaking, or losing its shape.
