bin bagnoun

túi đựng rác

/ˈbɪn bæɡ//ˈbɪn bæɡ/

The phrase "bin bag" is a common term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to refer to a lightweight, sealable bag designed for disposing of household waste. The origin of this term can be traced back to the late 1960s when a company called Decco, based in Lincolnshire, England, introduced a branded product called the "Decco bin bag." The Decco bin bag was made from a strong, low-density polyethylene material and contained a built-in drawstring to be sealed. Initially designed for commercial use, such as for collecting food waste in cinemas and other public places, the usage of bin bags quickly spread to households as an affordable and practical alternative to traditional wheelie bins. The term "bin bag" became well-established and widely adopted in popular culture during the early 1980s, when waste management became a political issue in the UK. The use of bin bags in refuse collection led to controversy as some people saw them as a symbol of urban decay and unsightly litter. However, the convenience and affordability of bin bags soon made them a common sight in homes and streets across the country. Today, bin bags continue to be a practical and essential part of households' daily routines, and the term has become a part of everyday lexicon. The global demand for bin bags has led to the development of different brands and types of bags, including reusable bags for organic waste and eco-friendly bags made from biodegradable materials. The use of bin bags has also influenced new technologies, such as smart bin systems, which use sensors to optimize waste collection and reduce the amount of litter in public spaces.
