AWARD-WINNING STREET DESIGN: Smartstreets Ltd. Combats Litter with ‘Better by Design’ Urban Solutions

Smartstreets Ltd., a leader in innovative street furniture and urban design solutions, is revolutionizing how cities manage environmental waste with its award-winning range of products designed to eradicate cigarette and chewing gum litter. Backed by over 20+ awards, including multiple Red Dot Design Awards, the company offers solutions that prove great design is the key to creating a cleaner, more positive public realm.

The Problem Solved by Design

Cigarette butts and chewing gum are a persistent source of unsightly and costly-to-remove litter in urban environments. Smartstreets addresses this issue head-on by integrating discreet, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing solutions into the existing street infrastructure.

Key Product Highlights:

• Cigarette and Gum Smartbins: These compact, pole-mounted or wall-mounted receptacles are designed to be impossible to ignore. Their intelligent design—which has earned accolades like the Spark Design USA and UKTI Export for Growth awards—makes disposal effortless and conspicuous, thereby encouraging correct use. The goal is to make the littering habit easy to break.
• Minibin Pocket Ashtrays: A portable solution to combat litter at its source. These discreet, reusable pocket ashtrays support the company’s ethos of taking responsibility for personal waste, offering an easy option when a bin isn’t immediately available.

Better by Design: Creating a Positive First Impression

The company’s philosophy, “Better by Design,” ensures their products are not just functional waste receptacles, but integrated elements of the urban landscape. By focusing on quality design and robust, durable materials, Smartstreets helps local authorities and facility managers maintain a high standard of cleanliness and create a positive “first impression” for residents and visitors.

“Litter shouldn’t be one of them,” states the company. “Great design solves problems before you notice them. Our solutions seamlessly blend into the urban environment while providing an undeniable function, significantly reducing the visual blight and environmental impact of common street litter.”

Commitment to Environment and Innovation

Recognized by organizations such as Keep Britain Tidy for innovation and best practice, Smartstreets Ltd. is dedicated to supporting sustainable urban management. Beyond the litter bins, the company’s portfolio includes Transformational Cycleparks and Smartstreets-Gumboards, all designed to make public spaces cleaner, safer, and more sustainable.

Smartstreets Ltd. invites local councils, urban planners, architects, and facility managers to explore how their award-winning products can create cleaner, more positive public spaces.
