More specifically, it explores whether through technology, i.e. a rewards application the user can recycle more. Afterwards, through the literature review, questionnaires, interview, data collection and analysis conducted and the design of the application, the team came to the results and conclusions of the research. The objective of the study is to design an application that will encourage users to go through the recycling process so that they can do it properly and systematically.

The team’s goal in this study is through technology, specifically an app that will be created, to get students to recycle more, as well as to get the recycling process right. The team will proceed to design the app, with the goal of building a recycling fee app. The app is called Greenie and aims to reward users by offering them coupons on specific products.
