MU Smart Bin (BIN BIN)

Abstract:

Thailand is in the list of countries that create a large amount of waste every year and this situation has many negative effects on both Thailand and world environments. One important cause is that many wastes are not managed properly and wisely. Therefore, we would like to introduce an improved version of Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) and two applications (Binbin user and Binbin store) to encourage university student’s environmental awareness. RVM is designed for taking many types of trash which are plastic bottles, glass bottles and cans then RVM will give the point back to the user or university student on Binbin user application.

Objectives:

To help manage wastes using AI technology in the RVM and mobile application to create an economy of recycling that benefits both users as well as others in our society.
