Green Hunger Inclusive Recycling Bins

Green Hunger is a set of recycling bins which aims to promote environmental sustainability through the image of baby birds. Its form illustrates the hungry, eagerness and urgency of an eco-friendly environment. The easy-recognised image shows the important of immediate awareness, attention and action on recycling participation. It overcomes the cultural and social differences that people with different backgrounds and abilities/disabilities can appreciate the design and meaning behind.
