A Persuasive Technology for Managing Waste Disposal through Smart Trash Bin and Waste Disposal Tracker

Abstract

<jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Waste management issue is a relevant topic that had been focused on many persuasive technologies. This issue is not only related to getting disposed of waste in proper places but also reducing waste disposal volume. This paper proposes a persuasive system that aims both goals by providing a smart trash bin and waste disposal tracker. The smart trash bin is an IoT-featured trash bin whereas waste disposal tracker is a mobile application which can record user daily waste disposal volume statistic. Based on the evaluation, our proposed system has achieved both goals. Additionally, it also solves several impediments such as incapability of moral background to encourage people to dispose waste on the trash bin, boring and monotonous waste disposal activity, and discouragement for disposing waste due to full trash bin. In order to attract people, our system includes attractive mechanisms such as playful experience, reflective experience, and gamification. Playful experience is applied to a smart trash bin, whereas the other two are applied to the waste disposal tracker.&lt;/p&gt;</jats:p>

Towards the smart and sustainable transformation of Reverse Logistics 4.0: a conceptualization and research agenda

“…The problem of waste disposal is not only related to dealing with the disposal of waste in the proper place but is also associated with reducing the volume of waste disposal (Karnalim et al 2020 ), safety issues, and cleanliness (Fernandes and Wairkar 2020 ). Even though an increasing amount of EOL products are recycled, incineration plants and landfills are still the final destinations of the non-recyclables in reverse logistics systems, where smart robots can be used to replace human workers in harsh working environments.…”

Smart Trash Bin Model Design and Future for Smart City

“…The system delivers trash to recycling centers and biodegradation centers depending on the type of trash. Oscar Karnalim et al [14] proposed a system that provides smart bins and trash disposal trackers to pursue both the objectives of disposal of trash in appropriate locations and reduction of trash. Slamet Kristanto Tirto Utomo et al [15] consider security and reward systems to be problems in public trash bins, and to compensate for them, propose a blockchain-based reward system consisting of a compensation system for using smart trash bins, wearable payment devices, and Ethereum smart contracts.…”
