TrashBank-o-matic

Problem:

The problem we are addressing is the lack of interest and initiative that society for recycle their waste due to lack of accessibility, long distances, and no reward they get in return for doing this activity. For this reason, there are still many people who do not try to recycle and are not interested in learning more.

Idea:

Device like a "vending machine" that will receive recyclable waste from people and in exchange will give an incentive to the user or the possibility of donating it to a foundation.

Main Beneficiaries:

This type of device can be used anywhere in the world. For now, we will focus on Chile, specifically in a commune of Santiago. Where there are few recycling points that are accessible to the community.
