Open-top trash cans are convenient, but they usually come with one drawback: unwanted odors escaping into the room. At iTouchless, we set out to change that expectation. The result is an open-top trash can that stays fresh and odor-free, thanks to dual AbsorbX® filters filled with natural activated carbon sourced from Japan.
The Problem with Conventional Open-Top Cans
Without a lid or effective filtration, conventional open-top trash cans allow odors to spread freely. Rotten food, pet waste, and everyday household garbage quickly fill the air. Many brands try to mask smells with artificial fragrances, but that only hides the problem temporarily.
The iTouchless Odor-Control Trash Can Solution
The iTouchless Open-Top Trash Can is engineered to be different. It uses two powerful AbsorbX® odor filters —one on each side of the lid rim. This dual placement ensures odors are absorbed and neutralized from every angle.
The secret lies in the material: all-natural activated carbon sourced from Japan. Its highly porous structure and massive surface area make it one of the most effective substances for odor elimination.
How It Works: Science Meets Freshness
The AbsorbX® filters don’t just trap odors—they absorb and neutralize them at the molecular level:
- Spoiled food: Captures strong sulfur compounds (rotten-egg smell) before they spread.
- Everyday trash: Reduces ammonia and amines from household waste.
- VOC emissions: Filters harmful gases from cleaning products and plastics, improving indoor air quality.
The result: a cleaner, fresher home environment—without relying on a lid to cover odors.
Sustainable, Safe, and Long-Lasting
Each AbsorbX® filter provides up to 3 months of continuous odor-stopping power. Replacements are quick and easy, and the filters are biodegradable, non-toxic, and filled with all-natural activated carbon—safe for your home and eco-friendly for the planet.
