Interactive Recycle Bin
Background:
Due to growing population and increasing consumption, Malaysia generates waste at 19,100 tons per day. In Kuala Lumpur waste generation is about 3,000 tons a day and forecasts shows that this will increase each year.
The disposal of solid waste has been done almost solely through open landfills. The Committee on Solid Waste Management announced in 2006 the closure of 16 open dumpsites and announced again in 2007 a closure of 16 open landfills. Another 17 open landfills out of a total of 155 are expected to be shut down. There will be a need to build further sanitary landfills and incinerator plants to prevent water contamination and environmental pollution.
The Government has now focused on reuse, reduction and recycling of materials and promotes companies that undertake these activities.

Review Analysis and precedence studies:
The rubbish after the a concert.
The rubbish thrown and unprocessed.
The worlds deepest bin
To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard. Many people still fail to do so. Can we get more people to throw rubbish into the bin, rather than onto the ground, by making it fun to do? See the results here ( from http://thefuntheory.com/ )
Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans. Noticeably fewer recycle their glass. Maybe that's because we don't get any money in return, as we do for cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded with a good conscience, you also get a smile. See the results here.
