Elin, a minimalist compost bin. Satin finished ABS parts are complemented by a bamboo top. The lid features a carbon filter in order to avoid any smell from escaping the bin. The interface between the lid and upper enclosure assemblies are also joined with a silicone seal in order to further insure only filtered air leaves the bin. Whilst featuring holes to neatly tuck removable bin bags in it, the inner container is fully removable and dishwasher proof for easy cleaning.

Many iterations were made using rapid prototyping techniques in order to tune usability as well as manufacturability. SLS and FDM 3D printing were used to test various aspects of the bin such as the lid mechanism, volume, disassembly for cleaning and ease of changing the charcoal filter.
