Smart kitchen in the current times is a testimony to avant-garde tech advancements that make cooking an enjoyable experience. A cooking space with futuristic appliances would often be a culinarian’s dream kitchen. From ovens with voice controls to refrigerators that display recipes – there is plenty on offer if you’ve got the taste and money to spare. That said, a garbage can lurking in the dark corners of your kitchen will attract attention for all the wrong reasons. But ZitA SQUARE, a smart trash can wants to change this with a host of cutting-edge features.
Supporting an advanced design and luxurious slated appearance, ZitA SQUARE is a Japanese wonder that looks nothing like a trash can. Thorough planning of three vital elements around design, odor control and useability, marks the story behind its creation. With a smart shutter-style lid that opens and closes quick and smooth, one can ensure to dispose of garbage without messing around with it. This makes the can hygienic and convenient to use.
The built-in sensor reduces the opening and closing time upon detecting the presence of a hand when waved over it. However, the sensor’s detection range and angle can be adjusted according to your preferences with a forward and backward tilting sensor knob.
The top of ZitA SQUARE indicates five LEDs as a means of communication every time the trash can is used. Crafted using resin material surface treatment, it adopts a texture that defies the perception of a mere trash can. The overall design is inspired by the imagery of traditional Japanese Kura (storehouse) and Shikkui (plaster walls).
The techy trash can offers an innovative approach to effectively combat unwanted and lingering odors. Fitted with an automated sensor-based shutter-style lid that opens in just 0.7 seconds flat, the bin and its surrounding environment remain fresh and smell clean. It minimizes the odor inside the trash can and also reduces the released odor.
Available in two color variants and powered by AA batteries that last up to 15 months, you can use it without bothering about toggling the batteries for over a year. ZitA SQUARE may become the face of the automated waste management system, and could soon be seen in restaurants and modern homes. If you already love the idea, you can fund the smart trash can on Kickstarter and get it at a discounted price of ¥33,749 (approximately $217).
