Many Singaporeans are unaware of the main 2 initiatives put in place to incentivise Singaporeans to recycle more: The E-waste National Recycling Program and the Cash-for-Trash Program.
We believe that greater awareness and accessibility of these initiatives will encourage Singaporeans to be involved in recycling efforts.
- Recycling E-waste can be quite cumbersome as there are many different categories of e-waste, and not all can be processed together.
- Furthermore, not all E-waste recycling points accept all categories of e-wastes, so one would have to take additional effort to search for a suitable recycling point.
What if there was an application that can provide directions to the nearest collection point with a touch of a button?.
- Additionally, Cash-for-Trash stations can be a hassle as they are not easy to locate
- Obtaining information can be difficult due to the Cash-for-Trash program being run by 3 separate companies.
What if there as an application that can reduce this hassle by providing detailed information on Cash-for-Trash with a touch of a button?
