The Recycling Machine

Ongoing

About

The Recycling Machine project aims to create a new design environmental-friendly recycling machine to increase ecological awareness among Oeiras’ residents. This is a collaborative and multidisciplinary project  combining art and technology. The exterior of the innovative recycling machine will be made by an artist, using end-of-life materials. The project included the stages of technical design, construction of the container and electronic mechanisms, and creation of a waste detection algorithm to be inserted into a gamification APP.
