The fact that trousers in bigger sizes often end up as shelf warmer in secondhand shops inspired me:

Thinking about how to  give them a new purpose, my very first idea was creating a garbage can. The used trousers would become a new exciting material in connection with the bent bars, which function as the skeleton of the can.

The trouser legs separate two compartments, both equipped with a folding inset. When emptying the garbage can, each leg compartment can be taken out individually. This function saves plastic bags, which are normally used to collect plastic trash.

But the most important aspect is, that something old and unused is given a second chance.
