Day to day life has room for improvement. That's the basic thinking behind simplehuman. By solving simple, often overlooked problems, we make people more efficient in their daily tasks at home. We call our products tools for efficient living. They’re always simple, functional, and built to last. And we only build products we love to use ourselves.

45 litre semi-round sensor can stainless steel with grey plastic lid. Infrared field senses the area above the can so it opens automatically with just the wave of your hand. A planetary gear system transfers speed to torque for smooth, consistent lid operation. At 52 db, our can is 50% quieter than the competition's. The outer lid lifts up for easy access to the liner — no need to remove the top of the can or fumble with a bucket. When you're done, it closes over the liner to keep it neatly out of sight. Nano-silver clear coat protects stainless steel from fingerpints and germs. Our code J liners are designed to fit this can perfectly so they don't slip, and they stay completely hidden. Extra-thick plastic and double-seam construction prevent rips and tears.
