LITTER BIN, FRAME

TYPE OF METAL: ALUMINIUM; CAST IRON; SHEET PERFORATED METAL; NON-CIRCULAR TUBE • the metal serves as the frame (the structural units); • has a potential for high durability and anti-vandal functionality of the goods; • solid frameworks are the most common, which means full replacement of the structure should the loss of use occur; • iron need regular repainting and recoating; • wide colour palette and shape variability available; • smaller openwork parts are hard to upkeep; • relatively easy in washing and upkeeping given the appropriate design.

OBSERVATIONS:

METAL: LITTER BIN, FRAME METAL: LITTER BIN, FRAME

ANALYSIS:

MAINTAIN+REPAIR

has a potential for material usage optimisation during production

allows for designing modular constructions where individual parts are easily replaceable

DISASSEMBLY / ASSEMBLY

easy to install, provided that there’s no need to make an additional platform of concrete

TRANSPORTATION

easy to transport; designing modular construction instead of solid structures allows for better space-efficiency

REUSE+REDISTRIBUTE

easy to relocate and reuse

STORAGE CONDITIONS

compact element; no special storage conditions required; humidity does not bode well for storing iron

REMANUFACTURE

individual parts are quick to lose their aesthetics due to lowquality materials, thus making them unfit for reuse in other structures

metal is the most recyclable material; however, this practice is currently underdeveloped in Ukraine, in particular due to the lack of technology

RECOMMENDATIONS: РЕКОМЕНДАЦІЇ:

• When designing the structure, optimise the amount of material for providing durable framework for estimated load. • Design the pre-cast composite construction consisting of replaceable individual modular parts. • Design the items as simple clean as possible, free of unnecessary elements, in order to simplify the upkeep and cleaning. • Opt for durable paint coating. • Opt for less toxic coatings. • Upkeep the item’s surface coating in order to prevent corrosion.
