Our country, Romania has the second worst recycling rate in Europe, while we are 6th in the EU at generating waste. Population awareness about the fact is limited, while in schools there are only few attempts. For electric, electronic and appliance waste (WEEE), only few dedicated shops are offering pick-up solutions for old equipment, but the process is slow and does not apply everywhere. Many of the old electronic components are thrown in the fields and contribute to pollution. But the most important aspect in our opinion is the lack of awareness in schools. In our school we have bins to collect batteries and light bulbs, but nobody uses them. There were some yearly contests with prizes, but only few schools participate, because it seemed hard to measure every student’s contribution. Our solution is the mobile app/game RecycleON, which can be downloaded from Play Store and App Store. The app teaches its users how to recycle properly and to be more aware of the fact that waste is not disposed of correctly most of the time. It is basically a game, based on the principle Recycle UP/ Level UP. The app has multiple goals: 1. Recycling events – because the thing that matters is quantity, SNC (Romanian National Collecting Society) wants to use it for recycling events in the communities surrounding the schools. Once every 3 months or once a semester, every school in Romania can organise a recycling event, where students (helped by their parents) can bring WEEE (electric, electronic and appliance waste). Recycling operators will bring special machinery to load the equipment brought by the participants. Based on the objects’ weight, the app users will receive virtual points by scanning a bar code, which can be later turned into virtual tickets. These tickets can be used in the annual raffle, where participants can win different prizes (an electric car, an electric scooter etc). 2. The continuous recycling – it can be done daily by bringing small and easily transportable objects to school (batteries, light bulbs). Students can dispose of them in recycling bins, then they can scan the bar code according to the disposed object. When scanned, the app will save the GPS location and a time-stamp (date and hour of disposal), and these can be later checked by watching the footage recorded by the cameras in the schools, to see if the students were cheating or not. This rewards the users with points for the Great Raffle, but for the local prizes as well. 3. Sharing information – the Recycling Patrol’s (Romanian NGO) main goal is to promote recycling. To solve that problem, the users will be notified of the Recycle Fun Fact of the Day (for example: Every year, 15 billion batteries are disposed of incorrectly. A column made from them would reach from Earth to the Moon and back). Weekly, a quiz will be created with questions from the information shared through the Fun Facts. The points received from solving the Quiz are also turned into tickets. Users get a positive feedback regardless of the result, the goal being children learning as much as they can about the impact of waste on the planet and for them to use the app constantly. For the programming and design part we initially used AppInventor from MIT, which is a friendly visual programming environment. We used our general Gmail address to be able to login all simultaneously and work on parts of the application. We all worked to design and programming, mostly using tutorials and help from Alex, Andrei and Iulia, which have 4 years programming experience in C/C++. Most of the work was done online, connected via Skype share screen. We used Edmodo as repository for all documents, but also WhatsApp. The home screen was designed and programmed by Andrada and Darius. Recycle Class and Recycle Quiz by Alex and Andrei. Sign in/ Login – Stefan and Iulia. Events and bar-code scanner – Alex and Darius. Collecting / pick-up from home – Iulia and Andrei. About us – Andrada and Stefan. After the initial version presented at our National Qualifications in Bucharest, we decided to switch to Thunkable (another visual programming environment) and try to improve the graphic interface.
