Bert´s binvention<\/div>\n

This just in from London’s premier ecologically-minded design agency, Sprout, aka Bert’s Big Green Business: Binvention is now on sale<\/strong> and apparently in a range of hues.<\/p>\n

“Gets your recycling sorted” ain’t a bad tagline. Don’t think it’s bin <\/em>done before. Looks like an offer too good to refuse<\/em>. Can<\/em>‘t think of any more crap puns. It wouldn’t be of huge use here in Mexico, as recycling of cans as part of household waste is something only done by the extremely conscientious. If you’re dead set on saving the world, your best bet is to collect your cans, in a Binvention or otherwise, then leave it next to the rubbish which gets collected 3 times a week. Either it’ll get taken away by the dustmen and shoved in landfill or it might just get picked up by someone collecting cans to sell to metal yards for a few pesos. Interesting that household waste is the only thing that doesn’t get recycled. Everything else seems to get fixed and live forever womble style, fridges, tvs, cars, furniture etc…<\/p>\n

Anyroad, here’s Bert’s junk email in full:<\/p>\n
