The use of AI recognition sounds great, but doesn’t this encourage a lazy approach by consumers? Oh, the machine will sort it out anyway, so let me just dump everything I can think of in here. It’s perpetuating the lack of education/knowledge, unless your

Definitely effective but it will be very costly to install numerous AI machines across the nation, probably can have at selected mrt stations or something
Jordain Tay Yu Jun

In response to "Would you be attracted to use this machine? If not, how do you think it can be improved?"
Yes definitely if users do not have to think about which part of the recycling bin (plastic, glass, etc) to throw into to filter our waste

The use of AI to be able to separate the materials, that is definitely the USP.

In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
No. The machine appears to be highly specific to takeaway containers, and therefore does not cover other recyclables. Also unable to visualise how the AI technology will "simplify recycling and improve efficiency" since the act of cleaning is merely shift

In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
No. How much recycling is really done in Singapore? We need more businesses to actually do the recycling in Singapore so that these materials are truly recycled into products that we can then use again in Singapore

Unsure of the feasibility of having a composting section - not sure if composting can occur given the type of waste that will be present
In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
It will be effective to a certain extent - if there are more than one material, would the AI be able to sort it?
In response to "Would you be attracted to use this machine? If not, how do you think it can be improved?"
Yes.
In response to "What would attract you to use this machine?"
The ease without having to sort
This is a good initiative, as many people are uncertain as to what materials items might be, or if they can be considered for recycling. Perhaps a problem that may arise is when a single item has two different types of materials - would the AI be able to

In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
It will be, because it makes recycling a lot more convenient, and people don't have to manually sort their recyclables. It's a more "brain-less" option.

In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
The culture can only be improved with a combination of education and logistical support. If there is the support of educating people about recycling and how to use the bins right, then perhaps the recycling culture could be improved. However, again, I am
Valerie Lim

In response to "Would you be attracted to use this machine? If not, how do you think it can be improved?"

Valerie Lim
2021-01-04 10:09:09
In response to "What would attract you to use this machine?"
The ease of recycling without having to check if something is recyclable (e.g. different types of plastics)
In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
No the machine will not be effective in changing existing mindsets. The same barriers around reluctance and lack of knowledge will still exist and will need an informative campaign to change ingrained habits.
In response to "Would you be attracted to use this machine? If not, how do you think it can be improved?"
Agree with the suggestions on making the machine transparent. It would be like the newater treatment plant so that everyone can see that this machine is genuinely recycling items and that recycled items are not simply driven to the same landfills as regul

Financial incentives e.g. recycling x kg will allow the user to offset their next grocery bill by $y.

I support recycling! And this would be cool as i can be educated better on what material is accepted, given that there are many grades of plastics for example and not all are recycled in Singapore.

In response to "Do you think this AI Recycling Machine will be effective in improving the recycling culture in Singapore? Why or Why not?"
Yes and no. Most Singaporeans want something in return and if nothing is gonna be given in return, I believe it might not work. But also, for people who are interested in recycling already, this could allow them to find recycling much more easier
