Packaging: The final step in Sustainable Design and Manufacturing for DeepStream Designs:
Sustainable Design, coupled with manufacturing products that stand the test of time in an environmentally responsible and sustainable fashion, allows DeepStream’s Customers to eliminate the “throw away” waste factor found in many of today’s products.
However, that is just the start of DeepStream’s Environmental Stewardship.
It is not enough that our products will last for generations and help slow the destruction of the rainforest. Or that our products are 100% recyclable when their end of service finally comes. Or that we replant thousands of trees through “Trees for the Future” every year in our customers’ honor, a program which also offers locals alternative forestry jobs in tree nurseries and reforestation.
Even more potential rainforest destruction is diverted by offering planking for our recycling bins and garden planters made from recycled plastic.
DeepStream also ensures that it is meeting our environmental stewardship commitments with our packaging.
All of our cardboard used in shipping is 100% recycled content and purchased through Pratt Industries, www.prattindustries.com. Similarly, we build our pallets in house to ensure that the 2x4s we use are harvested and certified through either the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, www.sfiprogram.org , or the Forest Stewardship Council, www.fsc.org, or both. These standards provide third-party verification that the forest management and on-the-ground activities used by the lumber producers are environmentally responsible and sustainable.

Adaptation, a hallmark of our Sustainable Design philosophy, is reflected in our products’ modular design. Why throw away and replace when you can adapt?
Adaptation, a key component of Sustainable Design embraced by Deepstream is the ability of our products to adapt. Adaptive Design allows for the replacement, or reworking, of components to preserve the value and materials of an earlier design.
The adaptive cover below was created for a school in California. The school was committed to recycling, but was also home to feisty squirrels that rummaged their bins. The result, a “weatherproof ” critter cover.
Recycling Receptacle and Trash Bin cover crafted in 316 stainless steel by DeepStream keeps rain and animals out
If your top loading Audubon modern DeepStream recycling receptacle or trash bin is outside and you have raccoons, you might want to adapt your cover and lid with a low-profile slot and hasp for a lock. This also works if your neighbors are using your bin.
Adaptive design: a lock hasp added to a modern stainless steel trash or recycling receptacle lidAn example of adaptive design: a lock hasp added to a modern stainless steel trash or recycling receptacle lid
DeepStream builds every product as if the application is in a coastal environment near salt water or out in the rain. This adaptive flap is constructed from 18-gauge 316 stainless steel, whereas the lid is 16-gauge 316 stainless steel.

The hinged design is simple and robust, just like our bins. The low profile stainless steel piano hinge attaches to the lid with flush fasteners. A template makes it easy to adapt your existing lid with a drill and a screwdriver.
Outdoor Recycling Bins
The 18-8 stainless steel handle has a standard distance between mounting holes. Should it be damaged, it can be replaced at cost, as can any individual piece, through DeepStream’s Core Replacement Program. You may also customize your handles when ordering or buy a substitute wherever kitchen hardware is sold.
Outdoor Recycling Bin with a weatherproof cover
The only compromise we have found in this design adaptation is that simple care needs to be taken when opening the lid to replace the bags that line the inner bins. However, it is an intuitive maneuver to open the lid with one hand while holding and gently lowering the cover with the other hand.
Of course, the cover also works well to keep out heavy rains and snow.

Accessory casters for mobility add functionality to heavy food service carts
Rugged stainless steel casters add functionality to custom fixtures.
While all of DeepSteams accessories add functionality to custom fixtures, Casters are the most often requested accessory by customers. Casters can be attached to a recessed frame to hide them, or they can be added directly to the corners of the trademark marine anodized aluminum legs.
There are rugged accessory casters for almost every product. Stainless steel casters for heavy wooden food service carts, garden planters, or a weatherproof point-of-sale terminal cabinet. Medium duty dual wheel accessory casters work extremely well indoors on both carpet and hard floors.
Accessory casters for every need

Medium duty Interior casters mount directly into the aluminum leg extrusions of DeepStream products
Bomb proof caster base: 4″ wide by 1/4″ thick aircraft aluminum angle to mount optional hidden casters on DeepStream products
The second most requested accessory to add functionality is leveling feet.
DeepStream Designs stocks two types of levelers for the bottom of products made with Audubon legs, like the bin pictured below. Both levelers have a maximum adjustment range of approximately 1-3/4 inches and rugged 12mm (1/2″) thick stainless steel stems with non-marking plastic footpads.
Rigid leveler compared to an articulated leveler
The pad of Rigid Leveler fits completely under a leg, raising the bin by 5/8” at a minimum. The Articulated Leveler, at right, has a wider foot pad that sticks out just a bit and raises the bin by 1-1/8” at its lowest setting. Both Levelers can be retrofitted in the field by affixing a special nut inside the void designed into the bottom of the DeepStream Designs trademark marine anodized aircraft aluminum leg.
The Rigid Leveler, above,is a lighter weight leveler with a smaller ridged floor pad for situations where the floor is generally flat, but there may be different levels caused by bricks or tile that are not completely level.
The wider articulated leveler for slopes
The Articulated Leveler, above, has a thicker and wider articulated pad that will rotate off level for situations where the bin is placed on a slope and you need to level it up, not just stabilize the leg for a lower tile or brick.
Which one do you need? If you’re placing a trash or recycling receptacle in a situation like the one shown below built with 100% recycled plastic lumber, where the brick sidewalk slopes sharply away from the building, you need the articulated leveler as a shown retrofitted on the right.
Don’t try to balance your custom fixture on makeshift levelers when it’s easy to add proper leveling feet.

Optional Smokers Outpost can be factory installed or retrofitted.
Another popular accessory that adds functionality is the Smokers Outpost, available in Stainless Steel, silver grey and black .

Handcrafted with marine-anodized aluminum frames, these combination trash and recycling bins have no powder coating or paint to fail. Environmentally responsible weatherproof panels of recycled plastic lumber (RPL) carry a 50-year warranty from the manufacturer.

We plants 100 trees through the Trees for the Future in our customers’ honor for every bin purchased. Customers receive a certificate for the forest planted in their name, showing their commitment to saving the Earth.
The removable rugged leak proof inner bins are rotomolded from recycled plastic as well.

With almost $2 billion on the line, a modern airport needed modern recycling and trash receptacles.
When ordinary wouldn’t do for this modern airport, DeepStream’s modern trash and recycling bins allowed the project’s designers to integrate recycling into more areas to support the Orlando Aviation Authority’s continued focus on Sustainability.

Florida’s newest and most modern airport will also be its most bold and dynamic in the spirit of Orlando, home to world class theme parks. Modern trash and recycling receptacles by DeepStream have been chosen for Orlando International Airport’s South Terminal.
Designers chose DeepStream’s modern combination recycling receptacle and trash bin with 3form Varia Thatch resin panels. 3form makes an almost unlimited pallet of textures, colors, and materials to combine into unique decorative panels that wipe clean. The Varia Thatch that designers chose uses natural thatch set into clear and colored resin panels.
Oahu Modern RPL Wood Combination Trash and Recycling Bin
In 2009, DeepStream started offering recycled plastic lumber (RPL) as an alternative to tropical hardwoods. More and more of our customers have been choosing RPL for planters and weatherproof fixtures over the past several years. In 2017, RPL was specified more often than natural wood.
The use of recycled plastic lumber has overtaken tropical hardwood
Recycled plastic lumber is a win for the environment and for our customers.
5 Premium Wood Grain Embossed and 2 colors of smooth Recycled Plastic Lumber. The latest generation of wood grained Recycled Plastic Lumber, with variegated color, is so realistic you have to touch it to tell it’s not real. Because it requires no maintenance, won’t absorb stains, is UV resistant with a 50 year warranty from its manufacturer, and can be pressure cleaned for sanitation and to remove graffiti, it’s the perfect replacement for tropical hardwoods in almost all uses.
Weatherproof RPL reduces maintenance costs while enhancing your properties and brands, exhibiting timeless beauty and making an environmental statement.
We strongly encourage you to seriously consider the cost benefits and the long-term appearance of RPL versus tropical hardwood. The environmental statement made by selecting this material for your project is a positive one for your customers.
The materials, simple modern elegance, and ergonomic comfort of The Perfect Outdoor Bench with Back make it great choice to use as a gallery, museum, yacht club, or park bench. Combining the warmth environmentally friendly Tropical Hardwood colored recycled plastic lumber, with the strength of marine anodized aluminum and 316-stainless steel, this modern wooden bench, handmade by American craftsmen, is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use as it is maintenance free and will last for decades.
Before specifying tropical hardwood for your projects please look at the comprehensive worldwide overview of the problem created by using tropical information presented at this link:

DeepStream was created in a response to a need. While building a condominium project, I reviewed the “universe” of garden planters and receptacles. I wanted planters, receptacles, and custom fixtures for my project that were just not available.

Wood planters were carpenter-built with wood-on-wood construction. As I’ve detailed in my Planter Blog, they just don’t last. Carpenter-built wood planters tear themselves apart in 3-4 years in Miami’s hot tropical climate.
Wasting valuable wood harvested from the world’s rapidly diminishing rainforests also wastes your time, money, and energy. Recycled plastic lumber was not an option at that time.
Recycled Plastic Lumber wood planters add a tranquil green space on a roof deck between apartment blocks
If your project absolutely must use tropical hardwood, then specify our Mariner planter system, do not use carpenter built wood planters that will fall apart in 3-5 years.
Wood expands when it gets wet. DeepStream’s trademark marine-anodized aluminum extrusion, along with its hidden aircraft aluminum structural frame, contains wood’s expansionary forces. Honor the wood you use by ensuring it lasts for decades and back it with a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
DeepStream Designs’ trademark marine-anodized aluminum leg extrusion is engineered to contain the tremendous forces of wood as it expands and contracts through numerous wet and dry cycles. Our planters will last for decades instead of tearing themselves apart in just a few years as traditional carpenter-built planters will. They are also equally suited to provide the framework required by non-structural recycled plastic lumber as an environmentally responsible substitute.
Engineered with the principles of Sustainable Design, our products stand the test of time. Our engineered modular system uses, or reuses, hardwood in a design that honors the wood. Deepstream’s trademark aluminum extrusions allow construction that extends wood life by decades. This is true with all of DeepStream’s products.
DeepStream’s planter-anchored Screen Wall and Enclosure System
Harvesting tropical hardwood destroys important habitats around the world, even if “sustainably harvested,” as hardwood trees take 50 years or more to reach maturity.
According to the Yale School of Forestry, while estimates vary, it is thought that between 30 and 50% of all certified Tropical Hardwood shipped into the United States has been “Greenwashed,” meaning that shipments have been provided with falsified and counterfeit documentation.
In some countries like Peru, it’s estimated that 90% are illegally logged, devastating their Amazon watershed. For more information click here: “Greenwashed” Timber and FSC certification.
DeepStream’s modern Audubon combination trash and recycling receptacle, shown in tropical hardwood, is now out sold in no-maintenance recycled plastic lumber.
Offset your project’s carbon footprint by using recycled plastic lumber and planting far more trees than you use.
We plant trees for you automatically through Trees for the Future as a matter of principle. Planting trees through Trees for the Future provides families with more than just trees and food. It provides income, empowerment, unity, leadership, education, and even saves lives. The program teaches people to value themselves and their environment, and they see amazing improvements in their standard of living.

DeepStream plants 50 trees for every planter and 100 trees for every fixture you purchase. Customers receive a certificate to use in your marketing to let your customers know that you care about the environment.
Modern Combination Trash and Recycling Receptacles crafted with RPL will not absorb water, food stains, dirt, or paint and may be pressure cleaned for sanitation. No-touch version are alos available as are hidden casters for mobility.
To date, with proceeds from the sale of our products, DeepStream has planted more than 460,000 trees in our customers’ honor. This reflects our customers’ commitment to the environment that we are all leaving for future generations.

DeepStream makes it easy and cost-effective to go Green and stop contributing to climate change. By selecting recycled plastic lumber for your order, you will be preserving the world’s rainforests, the cooling lungs of the earth, while creating a sustainable market for post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste.
Products made with non-structural Recycled Plastic Lumber planks (RPL) inside DeepStream’s unique structural aluminum frame are a perfect choice for outdoor placement, while making a strong environmental statement.
Please discuss saving this diminishing resources for future generations with clients that specify tropical hardwoods.

DeepStream creates many custom fixtures that use recycled plastic lumber.
Custom Fixtures, not custom prices, for hotels, restaurants, theme parks, water parks and spas. DeepStream’s proprietary frame system allows us to create a coordinated collection of durable custom fixtures. This approach provides visual continuity throughout your property, indoors or out.
