This Just In! Umbra Greens Up

We just heard some good news about perennial design favorite Umbra:

Umbra's cans are made of DEGRADABLE PLASTIC (with the exception of the Step Can).

The GARBINO can in black and green is made of RECYCLED MATERIAL.

The entire GARBINI line has been revamped into CORN PLASTIC, a compostable and renewable source.

We're thrilled to see a company that must produce literally tons of plastic make such sweeping changes so quickly. We've poked around a bit on Umbra's website, but there's no mention of these new products yet, so they're probably still making their way through the distribution chain. Give us a shout if you've seen one in the wild.
