Meisei Co., Ltd., a company based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, has released its sensor-activated automatic trash cans across various e-commerce platforms. 

Initially launched on Amazon.co.jp, the product features a horizontal sliding lid designed to accommodate space constraints, such as installation under kitchen counters or racks. The units utilize an infrared sensor with an adjustable detection range of 6 to 30 cm and are available in 30L and 45L capacities in black, silver, and white. 

Following the initial launch, the company expanded availability to other major platforms, including au PAY Market and Yahoo! Shopping, marketing the product under the name ‘Smartowner’. The trash cans include features such as a three-layer sealing structure for odor control, 360-degree rotating casters for mobility, and LED indicators to monitor battery and operational status.
