Public Trash Cans That Aren’t Overflowing with Empty Coffee Cups - Design - The Atlantic Cities:
Copenhagen designer So Hoj noticed, and was bothered by, piles of spent coffee cups spilling out of trash cans and onto the sidewalk around the city.
Hoj, a self-employed designer with a background in accessories, took up the problem herself by converting tall, slender cardboard tubes from the post office into receptacles for discarded cups.
The idea is simple enough: you can hold more cups in a smaller space when they’re stacked neatly inside each other. Hoj’s theory was that this would alleviate the cup problem by giving them their own, more compact space, and leaving larger trash cans for other items.

The Internet connects not only people: machines communicate with one another online as well. The rapidly developing “Internet of things” will soon become part of our everyday lives.
“First telecommunications cables connected computers located in different places, then wireless networks and smartphones formed a network of people. Now it is time for an Internet of things,” summarises Professor Sasu Tarkoma from the Department of Computer Science of the University of Helsinki, when discussing the history of telecommunications.
The “Internet of things” refers to a system where various objects and devices communicate with each other. In practice, this can refer, for example, to a postal parcel whose journey can be monitored thanks to an ID tag or microchip attached to it.
A new research project entitled The Internet of Things was recently launched in Finland with EUR 6 million funding from the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation as well as other contributors. The project partners include seventeen companies, seven institutes of higher education and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
