By making recycling easy and simple, the amount of recycling done can be increased. If recycling is perceived as difficult, it is often not done.
One way to make recycling easier is to renew waste recycling centres. RE-point is a good example of this. RE-point is a new and modern facility for waste sorting and recycling in Seinäjoki, Finland. It has 41 sorting points for different kinds of waste. RE-point represents the most advanced way to implement operations of waste reception facility and is a great example about how recycling can be promoted by making waste recycling centres with a customer orientation in mind.
So how does RE-point operate?
The service works with a mobile app that can be downloaded to a cell phone. The RE-app tells the customer where different kind of scraps and garbage belong, so every waste gets sorted properly. After registration to the app and entering car’s register plate number into the app, customer can enter the facility area by driving through the front gate. Customers can drive in and take their household waste there 24/7, every day of the week.
Then the customer drives their load of waste to the main hall, where they unload the waste that is already sorted at home into the right bins. Independent operation is possible with the help of the mobile apps’ advice. In addition, there are signboards to help the customers.
RE-point really has the potential to be a trendsetter, when thinking about the future of recycling. Recycling levels can really be increased, just when recycling is made easier and simpler.
