Recycle Helper: An Application for Serving and Managing Recycle Guides in Sophisticated Way

Abstract

In recent years Indonesia is struggling with their waste. Every day, Indonesia generates around 175,000 tons of waste. Some waste takes a lot of time to decompose normally and even though many people know this fact, there are still a lot of people still throwing their waste without giving a second thought. This problem has not been solved yet and it’s because people in Indonesia don’t know how to recycle their waste properly. In order to solve this problem, a platform is needed to provide information on how to recycle waste, for example Recycle Helper (a web application that provides guides on how to make useful items out of waste to reduce the amount of waste thrown and let users create and share their own guides with their own recycle idea). The questionnaire result that has been collected proves that people are still having a recycling motivation, hence Recycle Helper application is compatible with the current situation.
