Bin Less, Recycle More

Among all other environmental pollution we are going to work with plastic pollution. This problem is a worldwide threat to the very existence of human being. In order to solve this we are proposing to recycle.

We know that the world we are living in is getting polluted by us but we hardly take any step. So to encourage people to engage in this activity we are proposing a plastic collector machine where by throwing plastic material they can earn some money. If they put the plastic wastage into the bin the bin will ask them to provide them phone number and then by using a payment method we will send money to that phone number. for this we have a plan to contact with payment service provider like bkash or any other service.

for awareness rising we have a plan to build a website with more information regarding this.

The whole nations is suffering because of environmental pollution. Not only our country but also the whole existence of mankind is on threat. Even the animals, birds or other creatures are also suffering due to pollution.
In order to solve this problem only our contribution will not be enough. We need the help from people around us. We will need the support from a industry to recycle the wastage and sell them to the market.

The pollution issue is a global issue. We are working for this solution by following the standard need of the situation. If we can encourage people to recycle and also provide them the solutions of environmental issues they will get a better life and environment tomorrow.

We want to set a plastic collector machine in every shopping place, railway station and bus station preliminary. We will set up a plastic collector machine which takes the plastic and detect the plastic by long range UHF RFID. RFID is a reader, that is connected to (or integrated with) an antenna, that sends out a radio signal a tag (or transponder) that returns the signal with information added. When it detect a wastage as plastic it beeped and user then need to enter the B-cash number (initially we want to work with just B-cash for our users perspective, in future we implement this payment method in various process) and for one plastic user receive 5 taka instant in b-cash account.

Our approach is not a completely new concept it's a small version of the previous approach with some new dimensions.

We want to make a plastic collector which will accept plastic and provide some money with exchange of it. In our country this approach has never been used. It may help poor people to earn money. Though the amount will be very less. But this will simultaneously help us to clean our environment. For the campaign we have a plan to use a website. This site will also inform its audience how to recycle these wastage at home. what are the benefits. And how use of plastic is harming our environment.

Website for awareness raising for pollution is not new, plastic collector machine is not new, not even the idea of recycling is new. But the way we are going to approach the people around us to come and join us is surely going to be a new innovation for our country.

The problem of environmental pollution is a vast challenge. And this step is not only going to serve the human being but also all other living creatures around us.

Our solution is not a established area. This is just a concept till date. We need support, we need everyone's focus on it. We are going to start serving a small group of people first. if we succeed then we can form a large community and serve the whole nation with our solution idea.

Within next year we want to implement the collecting plastic and recycling idea in Dhaka City. If we can continue within the next 5 years we want to serve the whole nation.

1. We need financial assistance

2. Exposure to this problem and awareness raising

3. Campaign for this problem

4. need of more helping hands

We will build a site and let the people know about it. We will inform the people nearer to us and involve them with us.

We are three individuals. We are friends and colleague as well. The solution that we are going to provide will be a combined approach of ours.  The concept that we are sharing is a concept. this procedure is not completely new as plastic collector machine has been used before in other countries. But in Bangladesh this a a completely new topic for us. We are in a great need of this kind of approach to save our country as well as earth.

Currently we are three member who are working regarding this concept. But this procedure of recycling and encouraging people to use the plastic collector machine we will need the support of people around us. As we want to use the payment method of bkash we need to consult with them as well. Currently we are just a small team. In order to go to a organization and asking them to provide support in our machine and for using their payment system for our purpose we will need to take permission from them and also need a huge support from them.

We have the knowledge of information system, technology and expertise to use this knowledge to succeed in our approach.

Currently we are not engaged with any company. But for the successful completion of out system we will need to get partnership with bkash or any other online payment service.

The plastic wastage need to be collected and send them to any industry. So very soon we will need to consult with industries who are working with plastic recycling.

Many organizations like Jaago and other foundations are working for environmental cause and recycling of plastic. If we can get the help from them which is or future plan to contact them, we will be able to work for our environment.
