Midterm Project: RecycleBin
In this project we want to encourage people to recycle in their home by creating an emotional and interactive experience that rewards good recycling habits.
By recycling the tee will grow and birds can be heard.
Recycling is the law in New York City. While most business, corporate, and residential buildings comply by dedicating space and bins to recycling, many residents and workers do not comply. Often times, recyclables and waste are mixed together undermining the city’s recycling efforts. We feel that there is a disconnect between people and recycling because the “act of recycling” lacks immediate feedback and satisfaction. We are are proposing a product that will encourage users to recycle by creating an underlying emotional interaction that develops by actively recycling.
