Did you ever think a rubber tire trash can would need a technology patent?

Well, iVoice Technology thinks so.

On June 12th they announced a patent filing for a trash can that is made from recycled tire crumb rubber. This is part of their green platform and their pursuit of more eco-friendly products.

This isn’t just a little modeled circle of rubber to be placed at the corner of your desk, these will be fully functional items. The trash cans will be manufactured from 100% recycled tire crumb rubber. The molded trash can main member has an open top, side walls and a bottom. In some designs, there is an attached or unattached lid, as well as one or more handles. There are optional wheels attached to the bottom for ease of movement.

This was filed on behalf of iVoice’s new “green” platforms, B Green Innovations, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, and this is the third of many green products that will be produced by this division.
