A new range of pedal-operated hospital waste bins has been launched, designed for use on children’s hospital wards.
The bins have a friendly animal sticker to the front to match the colour of the lid and have been designed by Wybone, a Barnsley-based designer and manufacturer of clinical products, waste bins and street furniture.
Managing director, Richard Cooper, said: “We wanted to make staying in hospitals less scary for children. The fun bins provide a friendly face for children to look at when they stay in hospitals because it can be a frightening time for them.”
The bins are pedal operated, making them easy to use and they feature a lightweight ABS plastic lid and base that are available in a range of healthcare waste segregation colours.
Wybone manufactures hospital waste bins from metal, plastic or a hybrid combination of the two.
