RGB is a primary color model that helps create different shades. Just as they have a significance in creating new colors, they also hold a significance in waste segregation. These colors, after all, act as an effective solution for waste management, with Red, Green and Blue colored dustbins directed towards Biomedical, Biodegradable and Non-biodegradable waste management, respectively. Focusing on it and taking inspiration from the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, Fiable Cleantech’s RGB Dustbins have directed their efforts to allow the users of the sustainable dustbins to meet the MDG target.

Separating wastes helps reduce risk and damage to human life and the environment. So, making a start towards a better future, before you make a purchase, it’s better to understand each color dustbin’s essential features. It will help you contribute to today’s environmentally conscious world.

Red Dustbins
Associated with biomedical wastes, red-colored dustbins are commonly used in hospitals. These wastes are dangerous to deal with and consist of surgical knives, cotton dressings, tissues, napkins, etc., that must be disposed of carefully.

Considering the importance of these dustbins, users must be aware of some of their features. They are,

• The trash cans help to dispose of the non-biodegradable rubbish.
• It’s typically used in hospitals to collect biomedical wastes.
• The wastes, if not handled and then disposed of appropriately, would result in some serious infections like HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. This is why to separate and then treat these wastes appropriately is essential.
• The red color indicates rejected trash, something that cannot be recycled.
• The bins can be used to dispose of both hazardous and non-hazardous materials. As waste materials cannot be reprocessed, burning them is the only way to destroy them.

Green Dustbins
Green bins are helpful for collecting kitchen and other plant/animal wastes. Some features of these dustbins are,

• Biodegradable and wet garbage are treated after being collected from these trash cans.
• They hold animal, culinary and plant waste. They are, at times, also referred to as the organic bins.
• Vegetables, fruits, leftover food, rotten eggs, garden garbage, tea bags, etc., are all included in such wastes thrown away in the green bins. These separated and collected organic wastes via green dustbins are used as garden manure.
• Organic farming ideas are entirely known these days. Farmers use the wastes collected for feeding the livestock, using it as compost and creating manure, which, in turn, helps improve soil fertility.
• Trash’s optimum use helps prevent waste as it might be used to create compost.
• As different trash needs different dustbins, it’s crucial to understand the difference. Not to mention, if there’s too much waste, it can cause foul odor and even lead to lung issues.
• To dispose of the wastes properly is essential as if not done correctly, it can be injected by the animals, resulting in even their death.
