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.

food for thoughts ...

Could this solution be transposed for other waste ?

What about generating our own recycled ressources at home ?
