Kitchenware supplier Joseph Joseph's innovative waste and recycling bin, Totem, has taken a top award at the Maison & Objet homewares fair in Paris.
The product won in the kitchen accessories category of the Table & Cadeau Awards, and also scooped the Grand Prix of the year 2015.

Totem is the first product in a completely new category for Joseph Joseph, called Intelligent Waste, catering to the various waste and recycling needs of modern life.

Totem is a unique range of waste separation and recycling units occupying the same space as a conventional kitchen bin, but offering more functions without compromising on capacity.

Some 46 products competed in seven categories in the awards, and were judged by a panel of nine buyers on design, innovation, technical expertise and quality/price ratio.
