compartment so, the user still need different rubbish container to separate their
household waste.
1.4 Objectives
The objective of this project is to design and build a rubbish container that are able
to prevent it from overflowing. This can be done by reducing the volume of the waste
by compacting recyclable waste and decomposing organic or food waste. When the
volume of the waste decrease, the bin will be able to store more waste which will also
reduce the usage of rubbish bags.
Other than that, it will not only improve the state of the environment but it will also
reduce the health risk to human. Last but not least, the bin will also be safe for use
and user-friendly so that anyone will be able to handle it.

2.1 Introduction
Human daily activities cannot be separated from waste. Waste comes in many
different forms and may be categorized in a variety of ways and one of the most
common categories is municipal solid waste. Municipal solid waste or more commonly
known as trash, consists of everyday items that we use and then throw away, such as
product packaging, food waste, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food
scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries [4]. Unfortunately, several
studies reported that the municipal solid waste that are generated from the developing
countries are mainly from households (55–80%), followed by market or commercial
areas (10–30%) [5].
Therefore, it is necessary to provide the rubbish bins in the house, especially in
the kitchen to facilitate people in disposing waste. Some existing bins, however, have
not accommodated users’ need. Thus, a lot of innovative design of rubbish bins was
developed to meet users’ requirements.

Titan compactor bin is a manually operated bin which features a patented and
hygienic compaction system that allows it to hold up to 3 times more waste inside than
any other bin of the same size. The capacity of this bin is 30 litres and it has a weight
of 7.9 kg. It cost is RM 769.00 [6]. The rectangular design of the bin make it sits neatly
against a wall. The stylish bin come with a fingerprint-proof stainless-steel coating
which it makes it easy to clean [6]. One of the best features of the bin is it provides an
odour filter compartment that holds a replaceable filter which function to neutralize any
unpleasant smells [6]. The filter is integrated into the underside of the lid.
The mechanism of the bin is it compact the waste which can give more space to
throw more waste. The process of compacting is by simply lift up the handle and push
it down. The mechanism ensures that only the inside of the bin liner touches the waste
so it is completely hygienic. The bin also features an anti-tear design that won’t stretch
or pinch the lines and it is compatible with standard plastic bags. This bin also comes
with extra-large and strong steel foot pedal [6].

INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
The bin performs intelligent compaction of waste by monitoring fill level in real-time
using sensors. This bin is equipped with bi-directional communication link which relays
information in real time which include fill level capacity and collection efficiency [7]. It
relays the information to clean city networks which consists of team of people
dedicated to collect the waste from these smart bins.
It also can hold 8 times more waste compare to normal waste bins and an
intelligent safety sensor which stops compaction cycle when it detects hand of human
being and the fire detection sensor which triggers immediate notification to the
emergency team in case of fire were installed [7]. It is available in different sizes from
100L to 240L and the price could range from RM 9,979 to more than RM 25,000. The
higher size bins are compatible with wheelie bins available around the world.
The solar panel on top of the bin converts solar energy into electrical energy to be
stored in the battery for situations when there is no sunlight. The polycarbonate shield
which is resistant to external forces protect the bin. Last but not least, it contains LED
backlit option which is used to display advertisement to generate additional revenue
[7]. It can also be visible even at night time.

3. Smart Cara
Smart Cara is a compact electric food waste disposal unit that are able to reduce
the volume of food waste by pulverization. It has a weight of 9kg and cost about
RM2,209. The bin is able to reduce food waste up to 90% through 3 simple process
which are grinding, dehydrating and filtering odour [8].
It is equipped with sharp grinding blades and a 3-part impeller that is strong enough
to crush and pulverize hard objects, including chicken bones. The slow movement of
the impeller, 6 to 8 rotations a minute, ensures a powerful yet quite operation. The
crushed food waste inside the dehydration chamber are dried using high heat cross-
sectional multi-rolling in conjunction with air-circulation. The dehydration chamber is
coated on both the inside and outside with multiple varnishes, making the pulverization
system stronger and more efficient. Generally, it takes 3 to 4 hours to process 1kg of
food waste [8].
Lastly, food waste processing can create unpleasant odour. Therefore, Smart Cara
optimally combines multiple carbon filters to eliminate foul smells. The filters can last
approximately 3 months before it need to be replaced. However, this is depending on
the frequency of use and the organic materials that are being processed [8].

2.8 Conclusion
As a conclusion, most of the smart rubbish container in the market usually only
have one compartment. It will be a hassle for the users to separate the waste as they
have to use more another container. This will take more space in their house which is
not practical. For our new product, the rubbish container will have two compartments,
one for food waste and the other for other type of waste. Therefore, the customers will
be able to separate their household waste easily. This will save the space and it is
more efficient.
Next, the grinder is applied in the food waste compartment so that the food waste
will be pulverized while compaction system is applied in the other compartment. These
mechanisms are included in the new design is to reduce the volume of the household
waste and prevent the rubbish from overflow. We also include some safety precautions
in our design to make sure the product is user-friendly and will not damages property
or cause harm to the users.
Other than that, current rubbish bin has bad odour. This is because decomposed
food waste will emit toxic gas such as hydrogen sulphide and ammonia. These gases
are the cause of the bad odour and without filtration, the bad odour cannot be
prevented. Therefore, our new design will have filter holder that will be able to hold the
replaceable filters.
Lastly, the existing smart rubbish container are too expensive, thus they are not
commercially used in Malaysia. Therefore, simple and semi-automated system are
applied in the new product design in order to reduce the manufacturing and production
cost which will allow us to sell the product at a much cheaper price. Thus, more
customers are able to afford our rubbish containers. This also will reduce the power
consumption and the maintenance costs.

contained the market survey analysis which analyses the customer requirements and
other required information. Next, conceptual design has been generated and
evaluation on it is made. Full scale drawing of the final design selected has been done.
Hence, the analysis is conducted as a result of the project.
Figure 5 shows the result of question. The first question of the survey was the
gender of the respondents. From the pie chart, it showed that 76.7% of the
respondents were female while only 23.3% were male. This is because the survey
targeted woman and housewives.
27
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
From the result in Figure 6, most of the respondents which is 43.3% are in age
range of 45-54 years old followed by the range of age 35-44 years old with 23.3%.
Around 6.8% of the respondents age in range of 19-24 years old and none for the age
range of younger than 18 and older than 65 years old.
Figure 7 shows the question for the status of employment of the respondent. 60%
of the respondents are full time employed and about 13.3% of the respondents are
homemaker.

The question number 4 from the questionnaire was the monthly income of the
respondents. This is to determine the capability of the respondents to purchase a
costly product. Referred to the pie chart, the result in light blue colour has the highest
percentage of the respondent with income of more than RM5000 which is 36.7% of
the respondents. However, there is no big difference in the result of the respondents
with the income of less than RM100 which is only 13.4% of difference in percentage.
Figure 9 shows the question on the members in the household. The blue section
for 1-5 member has the highest percentage with 56.7% of the respondents. The red
section is the result for 6-10 members in the household with 43.3%. There is no
respondent with 11-15 members in the household.

The pie chart shows the results on the question of the problems with current
rubbish container. The choices given to the respondents were ‘Yes’ and ‘No’. The blue
section represented the ‘Yes’ answer and the red section represented the ‘No’ section.
Referred to Figure 10, the blue section represented 46.7% of the pie chart meanwhile
the red section represents 53.3% of the pie chart. Hence, it can be concluded that
most of the respondents choose the answer ‘No’ that shows that they are satisfied with
current rubbish bin at home and least number of respondents that choose the answer
‘Yes’.

Figure11 shows the answer to the problem of the current rubbish bin. The main
problem to the current rubbish bin was the bin is too smelly which is voted by
respondents around 71.4%. Next, 50% of respondents voted the rubbish bin will attract
pest and wild life as ant, rat and others. Respondents also vote that the current rubbish
bin were too small and not durable. Next, around 14.3% stated that the current bin
was too big and not portable. Lastly, 7.1% respondent stated that rubbish bin was too
expensive.

From Figure 12, shows how often the respondents changed the plastic rubbish
bag. From the pie chart it can be seen that around 46.7% change their rubbish bag
every day. This shows that the usage of rubbish bag around respondents were very
high. About 43.3% of the respondents change their rubbish bag three times a week
and only 10% of the respondents change the rubbish bag twice per week.
Figure 13 shows the answer for what is the mainly consist of. 86.7% respondents
answered food waste because our targeted respondents were housewives. Next,
second highest waste was plastics and followed by paper, tin and household material.
The most waste contributed by respondents were food waste.
32
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
From Figure 14, it can be concluded that only 60% of the respondents separate
the food and solid waste from their home. Another 40% just mixed their waste without
separating the waste. This situation is not good for the environment
Figure 15 shows the aspect that respondent look when purchasing the rubbish bin.
The most important criteria that customers want is functionality to be useful for all the
users. Next, second most important aspect to be considered was about the cost
follows by the safety of the rubbish bin. Other aspects vote by the respondents is
safety, durability, aesthetics value, portability and sustainability.
33
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
Figure 16 shows the answer for the question on how the respondents want to
separate their waste. 86.7%of the respondents want the bin to have two compartment
for food waste and solid waste. While the other 10% want the bin to have one
compartment only and uses for food waste only.
This question was made to know the preferable process by the respondents
to manage the waste. From the pie chart, 46.7% want the waste to be decompose.
Next 33.3% of the respondents want it to compact the waste to avoid overflowing
waste. Another 16.7 % want the waste to be dried and the rest of the respondents
want grinding mechanism.
34
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
Figure18 shows the answer for the question on how would the respondents want
to be? From the pie chart it can clearly be seen that most of the respondents want
the lifetime of the rubbish bin to be more than 6 years. Next, the second highest vote
by the respondents was 1-3 years follows by 23.3%.
Figures 19 shows the answer for question of what is the most important safety
features of the smart rubbish bin. First and foremost, the smart rubbish bin must be
non- toxic. Next, respondents voted the smart rubbish bin must be antimicrobial. 40%
of the respondents want the rubbish bin to have blunt edges for their safety. Lastly,
around 26.7% wanted the rubbish bin to be non-corrosive.
35
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
From this question, most respondents choose light and moderate weight. This
shows that the respondents want a portability rubbish bin.
Figure 21 shows the answer for the question 17 that shows the willingness of the
respondents to buy the smart rubbish bin. The highest value is 43.3 % which users
were might or might to purchase the rubbish container. Around 20% of respondents
will probably purchase the smart rubbish container. While another 10% had the strong
opinion to not buy it. Only 3.7% confident they will buy the smart rubbish container
although the price was above RM 100.
36
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
Figure 22 shows the price of smart rubbish bin that the respondents willing to pay.
The respondents stated that the highest price that they were willing to pay was RM
100. Second highest rate by the respondents was RM 40. This is impossible to fulfil
because smart rubbish bin included mechanical mechanism that quite costly. The
highest price put by the respondents was RM 150.
37
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
From the questionnaire, most of the respondents never used the smart rubbish
bin which is 96.7%. This shows that citizens in Malaysia were not exposed to smart
rubbish bin. Figure 26 shows that suggestion of the respondent to improve the
performance of the rubbish bin. One of them suggest that the trash container cannot
contain waste water from wet rubbish because this will make the rubbish bin smelly.
Respondents also want the rubbish bin free from unwanted smell. Lastly, the
respondents wanted the price of the smart rubbish bin were affordable for most
people.

Stress Analysis
The material use for the compactor handle is Polypropylene. The yield
stress of the material is 12 MPa which is equal to 1.2 × 107 𝑁/𝑚2 . From the figure
above, the highest value (the red colour) of the von Mises obtained from the
analysis is 2.091 × 105 𝑁/𝑚2 . The value is then compared with the yield stress of
the material. If the value of the von Mises exceed the yield stress, the design is
considered as failed. However, for this part the value of von Mises obtained does
not exceed the yield stress of 12 MPa. Hence, it can be concluded that the design
is safe to use.

1.2 × 107 𝑁/𝑚2 . From the figure above, the von Mises obtained from the analysis
is 4.008 × 106 𝑁/𝑚2 . The value is less than the yield stress of the material. Hence,
it can be concluded that the design is not fail.

2. Inner bucket
Some analysis were made to find out the amount of force the inner bucket is
able to withstand. The analysis are Von Mises Stress, Displacement and Strain
Analysis. Force that was inserted in the analysis is 49.05N (5kg).
From figure 41, it can be seen that most part of the inner bucket experienced
minimal stress with the approximate value about 1.623x102N/m2 to 2.052x106N/m2.
However, the sieve part of the inner bucket experience quite a lot of stress with the
approximate value of 4.102x106N/m2. The material used for inner bucket is
polypropylene and yield strength for polypropylene is 12x106N/m2. Therefore, the
sieve part of the inner bucket will not fracture as the value of stress applied on it is
less than the yield strength of polypropylene.
62
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
It was shown in figure 42 that the sieve part of the inner bucket experienced the
largest value of strain (3.834x10-3). Strain is defined as the deformation of a solid due
to stress. Thus, it will also experience the largest displacement which is about
5.976mm based on figure 43. This result does not critically affect the performance of
the inner bucket as the value of the displacement is small. However, this problem can
be prevented by increasing the thickness of the sieve part or using material with
higher strength.

4.9.7 Simulation
Motion analysis is done on the blade. The motor torque result is obtained from this
analysis.
The motion analysis is done by input the RPM of the motor which is 9000 RPM.
The shaft and the blade are selected as the component to be analysed.
From the graph obtained, the highest motor torque the blade can handle is 0.26
Newton per mm or 260 N⁄m. From the manual calculation the motor torque
needed by the blade is 207.08 N⁄m. This conclude that the design of blade is not
fail and can be use in the project.

1. Chemical Resistance: Diluted bases and acids don’t react readily with
polypropylene, which makes it a good choice for containers of such liquids, such
as cleaning agents, first-aid products, and more.
2. Elasticity and Toughness: Polypropylene will act with elasticity over a certain
range of deflection (like all materials), but it will also experience plastic deformation
early on in the deformation process, so it is generally considered a "tough"
material. Toughness is an engineering term which is defined as a material's ability
to deform (plastically, not elastically) without breaking.

Acrylic
One of the greatest advantages of using acrylic plastic in place of glass is that
while it’s more durable, it also weighs 50% less than glass. Whether fabricated
in cast or extruded forms, acrylic is less expensive while remaining 10 times more
impact-resistant than glass. Due to its incredible durability, acrylic can be used
over a broad temperature range and has superior weather resistance compared to
glass and other forms of plastic. Under high impact, it will not shatter and if it does
break, it fractures into large, dull-edged pieces. This is an important safety feature
for applications such as shower doors, sliding doors, and enclosures built for
hockey rinks and ball fields.
2. Highly Transparent
Acrylic plastic remains transparent as it gets older without excessive yellow tinting.
This is extremely important for applications that are exposed to sunlight. More
fade-resistant than other plastics, acrylic plastic’s light transmittance is equal to
glass while providing the same aesthetic appearance for a more reliable, long-term
result. This makes it perfect for applications such as windows, automotive screens,
computers, eye glasses, tanks and more.

3. Easy to Maintain
While there are some rules surrounding acrylic care and cleaning, it’s an easy
material to maintain. When cleaning acrylic that has slight blemishes and dirt it is
recommended to use a wet microfiber cloth and blot the material. The gentler you
are when cleaning acrylic, the better. Avoid using rough paper towels because they
will not remove scratches and may accidentally cause them. When cleaning and
maintaining acrylic the easiest and safest measure is to use soapy water or Novus
products. These products will keep your acrylic plastic looking polished and new
with minimal effort.

Stainless steel
The name stainless steel covers a variety of corrosion resistant steels that contain
a minimum of 11% Chromium. Changing the Chromium content and adding other
elements like Nickel, Molybdenum, Titanium and Niobium changes the mechanical
and physical properties of the steel [14]. The hinge and the blade are important to
use stainless steel as a safety to the users.
1. Strength
2. Easy to clean
As it is one of the most hygienic materials, its use in catering and medical
applications is suitable. It doesn’t support the growth of bacteria and is easy to
clean and sterilize, hence is low maintenance. It can be cleaned using a swab and
an all-purpose cleaner, making it beneficial for use in kitchens and hospitals.
3. Aesthetics
Strength is not the only property of stainless steel. It also looks great which is why
it is commonly featured in architecture. It adds a sleek and contemporary look to
classic and modern spaces, without compromising on functionality.
4. Corrosion resistance
Stainless steel can fend off rust and water stains as it is highly resistant to
corrosion. This is why stainless steel applications extend to outdoor as well as
indoor applications at various pressure and temperature extremes. This property
of stainless steel comes from the addition of chromium to the metal, which when
exposed to oxygen, creates a fine film over the steel to protect it.
71
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
5. Recyclable
Most of the stainless steel is made from recycled steel. Impressively, its qualities
do not deteriorate once the metal is recycled, allowing it to be reused continuously
and benefit the environment.

Injection moulding
The process that we used produce this trash container is injection moulding,
joining and drilling. Injection moulding machines, also known as an injection press,
is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic
parts. A wide variety of products are manufactured using injection moulding, which
vary greatly in their size, complexity, and application. The injection moulding
process requires the use of an injection moulding machine, raw plastic material,
and a mould. The plastic is melted in the injection moulding machine and then
injected into the mould, where it cools and solidifies into the final part.
Joining
Drilling
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-
section in solid materials. Drill machine is used to make hole at the part involved.

- Companies in the tech industry often face aggressive patent litigation. Companies
often sit on patents for years, hoping that another company inadvertently violates
them, to get easy money through patent and copyright lawsuits.
- Customers who are dissatisfied can file class action lawsuits against your
company, in which they gather in large consumer groups and attack your company
over faulty products, services or promises.

4.22 Conclusions
Our project is suitable for all people throughout Malaysia or even overseas, as it is
very convenient for rubbish handling and also for the environment. This project is
economically viable, due to its simple construction and the use of inexpensive
materials and construction methods. An approximate cost of RM333 has been
estimated for materials, thus a retail price in the RM400 to RM500 price range is
envisaged. This price covers all costs and includes a reasonable profit margin the
results of a representative consumer survey suggest suitable demand for the product
in this price range.
This project satisfies all of the restrictions as described, and satisfies the outcomes
described in section. It is an innovative solution for handling rubbish and food waste,
durable and inexpensive solution. This project successfully eliminates the difficulty of
operating rubbish and overcome the increase of food waste in the world. It is a possible
and commercially viable solution for this design problem.

C.L.N bin provides users with conveniences. With two compartments provided to
the users, making it easier for users to sort out waste at home. As we know in Malaysia,
waste segregation is included in law because it is much easier to recycle. Effective
segregation of wastes means that less waste goes to landfill which makes it cheaper
and better for people and the environment. It is also important to segregate for public
health.
This innovative rubbish container helps to save the earth. For the blade
compartment, it is used to crush the food into small particle. By weight, food waste is
the largest waste item in landfills. The time taken for food waste decomposition
depends on the type of food. Normally, an orange peel takes six months, while an
apple core or a banana peel takes around one month to decompose [16]. So, it is
important to crush the food waste into small particle to shorten the time for it to
decompose.
In order to complete this project, teamwork within each group members are very
important so that all the tasks given can be completed smoothly. The tasks were
divided equally between group members. All group members should follow the due
81
INTEGRATED PRODUCT DESIGN 1 | C.L.N ECO BIN
date given so other tasks can be done according to the due date set up. Other than
that, we must have committed and give cooperation to others so that it can improve
the quality of the project.

5.2 Recommendation
Many improvements that are being suggested by the panel after the final
presentation. First and most foremost, the safety of the rubbish containers must be
considered for all ages. For C.L.N containers it is quite dangerous for the children
because the blender compartment still can operate even when the lid is open. This
situation has tendency to bring harm to the children. One of the panels suggested to
put sensor that make sure the blender only can operate when the lid is closed.
Next, for compactor compartment, the solid waste must be specified to only one
types of waste. For example, if when want to design the part for paper compaction, we
must let the customers know so they will not have mixed the solid waste. As we know,
Malaysia has started the separation of solid waste from home. This is to ensure the
waste are easy to recycle.
In order to reduce the cost of the product we must use more standard part
because it is cheaper. The hinges for each lid are suggested to use the same size.
Other than that, the battery energy is suggested to change to electrical energy to
achieve the objective of the trash container which is environmentally innovative
rubbish container. Rechargeable batteries can contain metals that may be harmful to
the environmental if not disposed properly [17].
