Proof of concept: Gumball, the recycling bin

Group members:

CONTEXTUAL GROUP STATEMENT:

Our project "Gumball" the recycling bin looks at encouraging recycling and reusing through simple gamification of the recycling process (Aguiar Castillo, Torres, Petra, Perez-Jimenez, 2018) and a system of rewards to encourage users (Luyben & Bailey, 1979).

The main reason for wanting to encourage recycling and reusing behaviour is the relatively recent rise in the amount of waste generated by the average household in NZ. (Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development, 2017).
