Household Recycling Plant

Found an interesting home gadget in the most recent edition of the Springwise online newsletter. Its called the Ecopod, and is essentially a mini in-house recycling plant.

The system houses multiple drop slots and holding units for various recycleable goods, and a compactor for crushing beverage containers (unit can hold up to 50 crushed containers). Simply drop your container/newspaper etc in the appropriate slot, press the foot pedal to crush (if necessary) and away you go!

Sounds pretty cool to me!

The Ecopod is expected to launch just in time for the 2006 holiday season. Stay tuned for more updates on this nifty eco-friendly product!
