Waste-Safe Fire-Resistant Wastebasket – Mar-Bal Inc.
CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio — According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), every 24 seconds, a fire department responds to a fire in the U.S. In the home, the kitchen is the No. 1 place where these fires originate. A traditional wastebasket in the home or office can be a potentially dangerous fire hazard as a volatile mix of combustible or improperly discarded materials can start a fire.
In an effort to combat this problem, Mar-Bal Inc., an ISO 9001:2015-registered company, developed Waste-Safe™ fire-resistant wastebaskets. Made in the USA at its state-of-the-art 110,700-square-foot facility in Painesville, Ohio, the fire-resistant wastebaskets are made from thermoset composites with fiberglass reinforcement and are available in a range of colors and sizes.
