Jury’s comments
Nippon Film Company must have produced and developed this product over and over again to arrive at the final design.
The jury was impressed that through making good use of materials the design has come within reach of perfection.
Though garbage bags tend to be developed considering the needs of the people using them, this garbage bag was also designed considering the safety of refuse collectors.
It is important to raise customers’ awareness regarding refuse collecting work and to explain to them that the collection of classified refuse is complicated and dangerous work.
