WE:CYCLE

Summary about WE:CYCLE

WE:CYCLE uses a unique approach when it comes to reusing. Rather than coming up with solutions to collect and recycle the waste, we have come up with a solution that enables users to make use of the item they are trying to recycle.

This is done by introducing our WE:CYCLE mechanisms to vending machines in Singapore that helps refills user's bottles with their desired drinks. When users choose to refill their drinks at the vending machines rather than buying bottles or cans, they will be given points to redeem rewards such as vouchers and more, through our WE:CYCLE app.

Furthermore, not only is WE:CYCLE a platform for redeeming rewards, it also provides useful information on how users can reuse, reduce and recycle in other ways. Hence, reducing the waste generated from one use plastic bottles and metal cans whilst encouraging recycling.
