Cross Platform Waste Reuse, Reduce And Recycle Management Application With Prototyping Methodology
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a cross-platform waste management application using a prototyping methodology that incentivizes users to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic waste by offering rewards for environmentally responsible behavior. The study addressed the lack of public motivation for 3R adoption by building a reward-based digital tool to increase community participation in plastic waste reduction.
The use of plastic bags by the public as containers for shopping goods is very high. People often throw away plastic waste carelessly, causing pollution everywhere. The biggest problem with the lack of recycling action lies in the lack of public awareness of the importance of implementing 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). People are less motivated to do 3R, one of which is because there are no rewards after doing 3R. This research develops an application provides rewards to the community for using Eco-Green Bags as an alternative to plastic bags. This research application has a system that makes it easier for people to carry out 3R. This proposed framework application uses the React Native framework for creating mobile apps and Next.JS for creating admin websites and APIs. With the React Native framework, application performance will be faster and smoother for users. The Next.JS framework allows developers to have a very clear project structure, because Next.JS uses file-based routing. With this research, it is hoped that people can be even more motivated to carry out 3R. The community can participate easily in implementing 3R without any coercion but through the community's own initiative. In this way, the application can be a real supporter of society in implementing 3R and avoiding the use of plastic bags which are also contributors to environmental pollution.

The game was developed through iterative visual design and tested for its ability to engage children and build positive attitudes toward reducing plastic pollution.
Putting plastic waste management technologies into practice
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers argued that achieving sustainable plastic waste management requires a systems-level approach that integrates mechanical, chemical, and biological recycling technologies rather than treating individual methods in isolation, emphasizing that no single technology can address the full complexity of the global plastic waste problem.
Involving Children with Special Needs in Managing a Digital-based Waste Bank
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined whether children with intellectual and developmental disabilities could meaningfully participate in managing a digital-based waste bank system developed to handle the surge in plastic waste during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that with appropriate support, children with special needs could develop practical skills for waste sorting and digital waste bank operation, contributing to community-level plastic waste reduction efforts.
