Australia's poor waste management system and its immense use of single-use items are causing substantial damage to the environment. The burning of excess waste releases greenhouse gases, filling the atmosphere and causing climate change. We aim to design a solution that addresses the issues that hinder individuals from implementing better recycling habits in their daily life. Rex stands for Recycling Express. It is a screen with two bins, one yellow and one red. The yellow bin is split into four shapes, similar to that in Kahoot. to allows users to answer fun trivia questions by throwing away their rubbish. Users are also able to throw away their landfill rubbish, to avoid recycling contamination, into the red bin. As a reward, users can donate their recycling money to an eco-friendly charity or leave a comment on a digital community tree. The bins build on the idea of Ballot Bins, which use trivia questions as a motivator to reduce cigarette litter.
