What are the advantages of a stainless steel vs a plastic Trash Can

Considering what the garbage goes into, you’d probably assume plastic when it comes to picking a waste can. But ever gave a thought to stainless steel? Why purchase a Stainless Steel Trash Can? At Shuoda, we’re firm believers that stainless steel trash cans are superior to plastic ones across the board. They’re more durable, have longer lives and often are better for the environment. A stainless steel garbage can is an excellent purchase for any home or business. It won’t break from heavy waste, and its modern appearance can blend in with any decor.

Stainless Steel Trash Cans And A Hygienic Environment  - Why They Are Better Than Plastic Counterparts? 

Where cleanliness is concerned, stainless steel trash cans have a sizable leg up. Germs and bacteria are less likely to hold onto them. Plastic cans may nick and harden over time. Dirt and germs can become trapped in these nail scratches, and they may be difficult to clean. The stainless steel, however, is smooth and easy to simply wipe down. Clean it with soap and water or even disinfectants. This is crucial for businesses like restaurants or hospitals, where cleanliness and hygiene are important. 

A second reason stainless is considered more hygienic is because it does not retain smells as plastic can. If you’re throwing out food or something that could potentially generate a stench, plastic may absorb the smell. You can clean it easily and it won’t retain the smell. So it’s a good option for the kitchen, or anywhere you put food waste. Plus, many stainless-steel cans have close-fitting lids. This goes a long way toward containing smells and keeping pests out. A big plus if you have pets, or live in an area swarming with bugs. 

Stainless steel garbage cans are also more eco-friendly. They are recyclable, many plastic ones wind up in landfills. When you opt for a stainless steel can, you are making a decision that reduces waste. And it is good for the planet. And that’s why, if I cared about things like hygiene or cleaning them on a regular basis or the planet, I’d likely opt for a stainless steel trash can instead of plastic ones.

Why Stainless Steel Bins Are a Greener Choice Than Plastic

Stainless steel bins have less impact on the environment than plastic. Lets start with what happens to plastic. Plastic trash cans, once discarded, can take hundreds of years to disintegrate. As a result, they sit in landfills for many years, where they take up space and also generate pollution. Some of that plastic can also make its way into oceans, where it can hurt sea animals. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is very recyclable. And when it finally reaches the end of its life, a stainless steel trash can simply can be melted down and transformed into something new. This recycling process saves energy and lessens waste.
