Abstract

Global trust and participation in recycling is an important aspect for the sustainable development of our society. However, motivation for recycling is a task currently pending due to the lack of time and interest of users. Experts tried to find this motivation through awareness-raising campaigns for recycling, but since it is not an obvious and close problem to the people, these campaigns have not been as effective as they should be. This project seeks to increase interest and participation in recycling through the realization of a functional prototype of a recycling system using the Internet of Things to reward users. The user who performs the waste disposal is identified in the smart container using a mobile application, accumulating points depending the products he recycles, these points are redeemable for discounts and prizes, thus directly encouraging participation in the recycling.
