Color Matching
A new recycling system of fast food packaging which use color to make recycling intuitively.
The globalization has brought fast-food culture to many countries around the world. Massive amount of fast-food packaging wastes were produced every day, which becomes a major concern to our environment. We found that because the recycling sign was unclear, it makes the entire recycling process more difficult. People couldn’t identify whether the waste is recyclable, and it usually takes a lot of time to sort the wastes with right bins. Therefore, it results bad recycling.
Our inspiration comes from a childhood game – color matching (it is a kind of game which you put together the toys with the same color.) Without considering the material of the wastes, people only need to check the identical color on the packaging and put the waste into the bin with the same matching color. The wastes can then be distinguished intuitively and quickly.
