TrashHero Machine
Introduction
Recycling rates in Singapore are low despite various efforts to extract recyclables from waste. Contamination of recyclables is a significant problem with current methods to sort waste at source. Current recycling bins rely on human judgement to determine if a piece of trash is recyclable and uncontaminated, which has poor results.
60% of Singaporean households recycle regularly, but many not doing it right: Surveys
Proposed Solution
Artificial intelligence can be used in an automated waste sorter to significantly reduce contamination of recyclables
Problems that it will solve
- Reduced contamination rate in recyclables (blue bins)
- Incrased knowledge of what items will be recyclables and what will be not be as the user would be able to see AI's result
- Incentivize effort for recycling correctly
- and more!
