B:bot, Green Big
Engage consumer in recycling.
DATE 2019
MATURITY LEVEL READY
DEVELOPED BY GREEN BIG
UX Design BY ELLA ROGER
B:bot is a made in France machine that collects, crushes and sorts plastic bottles into flakes ready for recycling, the flakes being collected to make new bottles.
The B:bot densifies the material of the bottles by transforming it, which optimizes transport and storage while reducing costs. For each bottle deposited, the consumer receives 1 to 2 cents that he can recover as a voucher or donate to an association.
B:bot is totally designed and manufactured in France with a storage capacity of 3000 bottles.

Could this solution be transposed for other waste ?
What about generating our own recycled ressources at home ?
