REFLECTIVE SAFETY VEST SUN PROTECTIVE CAP
Inspired by cycling, we want to
simplify the design of current
reflect safety vest by just keep
the reflective part to prevent heat
from being trapped. The cap is produced with poly-
ester that has undergone special
treatment to help reflect UV and
reduce chance of getting heat
stroke during hot days.
SLOGAN
Inspired by fashion and political
tee shirts, we have included
slogan on the uniform in order to
give more pride to collectors and
more importantly remind people
on the street to act in more
responsible manner and show
respect to collectors who are
helping us on a daily basis.
PORTABLE RAINCOAT
No raincoat is provided at the
moment. We have seen collec-
tors just cover themselves with
black plastic garbage bags. Our
design is a portable and foldable
raincoat that can be folded into
a small bag and attached to their
uniform so they can use when
needed.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES

Water proof and breathable
gloves to prevent collectors from
getting cuts on their hand as well
as getting skin allergy.

REUSABLE WATERPROOF SHOES COVER COLOUR
Currently no waterproof boots
are provided to workers which
makes it very dangerous during
raining days. Similar to anti-slip
shoe cover, this design is also
very portable and can be used by
attaching to their current shoes
easily. Current color (light blue) of
collectors’ uniform gets dirty easy
which in return gives people a
negative impression. The new
color (chambray blue) we use
will be more durable and gives a
more professional image.
Instead of giving all collectors
a pair of anti-slip boots, we
have designed a anti-slip shoe
cover that can be stored in their
uniform easily and use when
needed by simply attaching to
their current shoes.
