Each of the Roll-Up Bins is packaged in a thin cardboard tube similar to a bin bag, and can be unfurled when removed from this container.

Available in a range of simple block colours, the bins can hold between 10 and 30 litres of contents and fold up or down allow them to be adapted for different uses including a bin for waste, a plant pot, a toy basket or a general container.

When unfolded, the bins have the appearance of neatly folded, glossy, thick plastic bags formed into slightly skewed pots.

These can be extended or shortened by the user, or rolled up again for easy storage when not in use.

Although flexible, each Roll-Up Bin is cast from tough, PVC-free TPU plastic and can free-stand securely on the ground. They are also completely waterproof.
