The Can Crusher
Smaller cans means more can be squeezed into less landfil space.
This simple but effective gadget does exactly what it says on the, erm, can. You simply put your finished can in and press down the handle and it crushes it to 20% of its normal size, therefore reducing the number of times you have to empty your kitchen bin. And with no batteries or any other power required, it’s super environmentally friendly.Pros
Less waste, and less recycling bin emptying as you can fit many more cans in at one time. Can crushing is also pretty good for stress relief!
Cons
Some consumers have complained that the standard models are too flimsy to cope with some cans. Also, it probably needs keeping out of reach of young children; otherwise you might find your eggs, watch or travel-card crushed as well as your cans.
Energy saved
If you eat and drink lots of canned products, the Can Crusher will take a bite out of your household waste.
