Trashy the trashcan

The PRETOTYPE for our project began with sketches of a modern trash can, emphasizing simplicity and futuristic touches. Symbols represented smart sensing technology, a charming character on an interactive display conveyed friendliness, and small solar panels showcased eco-friendly integration. Gamification was symbolized by playful icons, and a visual storyboard depicted the "Little Steps" system. This concise representation served as a foundational visual overview, effectively communicating the project's key elements in a preliminary stage.

Acceptance Rate

Based on surveys

Following an intern survey within the Tec Community, a significant portion of respondents expressed a high likelihood of adopting a recycling habit with the introduction of smart trash bins. Specifically, 63% of those surveyed indicated a strong acceptance of this innovative approach to waste management.

Summary

Activity pause

Our idea stands out as original in the realm of waste management, weaving together cutting-edge technology, behavioral psychology inspired by James Clear's incrementalapproach, and a service-oriented "Little Steps" system. By introducing a charismatic interactive display, solar-powered functionality, and a gamified waste disposal experience, we break paradigms, shifting the perception of trash cans from mundane to engaging eco-solutions. The added value lies not only in efficient waste sorting but in cultivating sustainable habits through monthly initiatives. Feasibility is supported by the positive survey results, affirming user acceptance. To bring this vision to life, additional resources like software development expertise and community engagement tools may be necessary. The next steps involve refining our PROTOTYPE based on feedback, conducting real-world trials, and strategically marketing our innovative solution to maximize its impact.
