Waste Reduction

The Project

WASTE REDUCTION PROJECT MISSION : Create a Waste Management Application System and how to Categorize a Waste effectively. OVERVIEW : This application is based on the high amount of waste generated from household waste and purchases of goods, whether small or large. Therefore, this application is created to raise awareness and enable the community to have a direct impact on the waste they produce. The working system of this application is that every product that will be sold will be verified for its packaging and contents, whether it is recyclable (organic) or non-recyclable (inorganic). Examples: 1. Organic products: a. Tissues, books b. Vegetables, bread c. Food wrapping paper 2. Inorganic products: a. Plastic bottles and packaging b. Plastic toys c. Plastic furniture/equipment. The Plan is each purchase of these items will be given points according to the level of recycle of the waste. The higher the recycle of the item, the higher the points received, and conversely, the higher the non-recycle of the item, the more negative points received. Here are some examples of points given for: 1. Organic a. Tissue, Book 20 Point b. Vegetables, Bread 15 Point 2. inorganic a. Plastic Bottle -100 Point b. Plastic Packaging -70 Point c. Plastic Toys -50 Point The accumulated points from purchasing these items can be converted into Indonesian rupiah or cash money, which will directly increase or decrease the value of the product. For example, if the points accumulate and increase, the discount received will also increase, and if the points decrease, the price increase will also be higher. We want to develop this application can be accessed via mobile apps, And also The store or seller can collaborate with merchants so that the accumulated points can be exchanged for electronic money or rewards,

The development of this application is based on the high amount of waste generated from household waste and purchases of goods, whether small or large. Therefore, this application is created to raise awareness and enable the community to have a direct impact on the waste they produce.

The difficulty while making this project is limitations in searching for sample goods and creating parameter values that will be converted into rupiah. his problem can be overcome by looking at many literatures on the internet and also looking at goods that are widely used around us.

In the future, this application can be accessed via mobile apps. The store or seller will collaborate with merchants or other entities so that the accumulated points can be exchanged for electronic money or rewards, which can be used for many thing such as top up voucher.
