SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 27, 2025 – Ninkaplast GmbH (Ninka), a leading German supplier of injection-molded components for kitchen furniture, unveiled key product innovations at Interzum 2025 with the expansion of its modular waste bin systems, designed for under-sink installation and seamless integration into modern kitchen drawers.
With the debut of expanded variants in the “one2seven,” “one2eight,” and “one2nine” product lines, Ninka strengthens its value proposition for kitchen manufacturers seeking differentiation, operational flexibility, and improved consumer convenience. These developments highlight Ninka’s commitment to intelligent system design and compatibility across multiple drawer platforms.
Strategic Differentiation Through Flexible System Architecture
Ninka’s flagship “one2seven” system—originally limited to Blum’s Legrabox—now supports a wider range of under-mounted drawer runners. This system stands out for its adaptability, closed surfaces for easy cleaning, and multiple container configurations that optimize kitchen storage.
The extension of “one2seven” compatibility allows manufacturers greater freedom in integrating waste management features regardless of the drawer brand used, thereby reducing production constraints and enhancing product variety.
Integrated Water System Compatibility with “one2eight”
Ninka’s “one2eight” system reflects a rising industry focus on combining functionality with sustainability. Designed for 60 cm base units, the system integrates a waste collection bin with optional water treatment technology, mounted either on the base or the carcase wall. At Interzum 2025, Ninka introduced a new version of “one2eight” that works behind a pull-out front—a major usability improvement.
Available in two configurations (17 + 8 liter, or 2 × 11.5 liters), this variant is offered as a full set. The suspended frame includes:
- Dual waste separation containers,
- Optional lid tray organizer for cleaning supplies,
- A decor panel that functions independently from cabinet doors.
By positioning this system as either a built-in or freestanding unit, Ninka meets the demand for modularity around sink spaces while maintaining a clean aesthetic.
“one2nine”: Modernizing a Classic
In a nod to traditional hinged door designs, Ninka’s “one2nine” system updates a time-tested concept with a larger 26-liter bin option alongside the original 17-liter format. When the cabinet door opens, a lid-lifting mechanism gently rotates the bin outward for ergonomic access.
Engineered for durability and efficiency:
- Both bin sizes use thick-walled construction for load resilience,
- Glass-fiber reinforced handles ensure secure liner retention and simplified bin handling,
- The entire unit is built as a compact, fully integrated module rather than a retrofit accessory.
This system offers manufacturers a refined, robust solution for classic cabinet builds, enhancing appeal without adding production complexity.
Operational and Logistical Benefits for Manufacturers
All three waste bin families are designed as complete units—classified not as accessories but as standardized, integrated cabinet systems. This distinction simplifies ordering, streamlines warehouse management, and reduces assembly effort.
By enabling compatibility with varying drawer systems and configurations, Ninka’s modular approach helps furniture makers:
- Cut development time,
- Improve bill of materials consistency,
- Offer customizable end-user solutions without altering core cabinetry architecture.
