At Hongmao Garden, every product we develop starts with real user insight. This week, we're spotlighting two innovations designed to solve practical pain points:

🚮 Pedal-Operated Garbage Bin Box

Born from user feedback around hygiene and usability, especially during extreme weather, our pedal bin offers a hands-free, contactless waste solution. No more touching cold metal handles or dirty lids — just step, open, and dispose. It's effortless, hygienic, and thoughtfully engineered for modern outdoor living.

📬 Oversized Parcel Box

With the rise of e-commerce, households now receive more and larger parcels than ever. Our new 005L parcel box is a direct response to this shift. Based on feedback that standard boxes couldn't accommodate growing parcel sizes, we expanded both the capacity and delivery slot — making it ideal for frequent deliveries and larger packages.

🔧 Designed for modern living.
