Recycling bin designers Method recently spoke to The Telegraph’s Business Reporter about the power of their good-looking bins. Method believe in the power of considered design to make a difference and it impacts every part of their business.
On the Business Reporter Matthew Fletcher talks about why design matters when selecting a bin and how Method’s bins have helped to transform recycling behaviours in influential organisations around the world.

Method co-founders Steven and India Korner saw organisations that wanted to recycle, but didn’t have the tools to be successful. Traditional options are often ineffective, such as desk bins or ugly bins hidden in cupboards. Method’s signature 60-litre recycling bins are coded with information to help users accurately sort waste and effectively change workplace recycling behaviours.
The Korners believed a well-designed bin could make a difference, and it has. Many organisations have seen their recycling rates increase significantly through the introduction of Method’s bins, and subsequently they’re sending less waste to landfill/incineration. One facility increased its recycling rates from roughly 30 per cent to 75 per cent.
The bins are designed to be placed together to form flexible recycling stations, located throughout any facility. With this, Method pioneered the concept of Open Plan Recycling, bringing colour-coded and consistent recycling stations out into the open-plan design of modern facilities. This increases awareness, accountability and conversations about recycling and sustainability.
Method is a modern recycling and waste system that is effective through considered design and can have a significant impact on an organisation’s recycling rates. With visible recycling stations, the bins become a beautiful statement of an organisation’s commitment to sustainability. As well as saving time, money and plastic, with fewer bins and liners to purchase and service.
Method’s bins can be found in leading facilities around the world. From stadiums such as the Sydney Cricket Ground, airlines like Qantas, large coworking spaces like The Office Group in London, offices including Canva, the Design Council and world-renowned architecture firm Foster + Partners, and even a whale watching boat off the coast of New Zealand! Method bins effectively divert waste, and enable recycling in any space.
