The benefits of stainless steel trash cans

Because stainless steel is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water, and chemical corrosive media such as acid, alkali, and salt, stainless steel trash cans have high durability. The garbage bin made of stainless steel all over the body also has fireproof function and is sturdy and durable. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel trash cans depends on the alloy elements contained in the steel. Chromium is the basic element that gives stainless steel corrosion resistance. When the chromium content in steel reaches about 12%, chromium reacts with oxygen in the corrosive medium to form a thin oxide film (self passivation film) on the surface of the steel, which can prevent further corrosion of the steel substrate. In addition to chromium, commonly used alloying elements include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper, nitrogen, etc., to meet the requirements of various applications for the microstructure and properties of stainless steel.

Garbage bins are surrounded by bacteria, viruses, and mold every day to accommodate various types of waste, which pollutes indoor and outdoor environments. Therefore, they are also a "bacterial nest" that is prone to accumulating dirt and grime. Some trash cans on the market may contain radioactive or harmful volatile substances due to unclear plastic material sources, posing certain health hazards. However, stainless steel and bamboo weaving not only reduce such problems, but also make them easy to clean. In addition, smaller trash cans can encourage people to take out their garbage frequently, shortening the time for bacteria to grow.
