Problem
Queenslanders use over 3 billion drink containers annually. A lot of them are being recycled to make new containers, but millions still end up as waste in landfill. Many people are already returning their containers for a refund, but many others can’t be bothered or simply don’t have the time to return their containers to a refund point to be recycled. So, how do we help people to change?
Idea
Everyone is familiar with home delivery for food and drinks. What if those used drink containers could be collected from your home to be recycled?
With Containers for Change, we created a brand new app and service to tackle logistics and influence people’s behaviour towards waste. The Container Collect service, part of the Containers for Change app, enables people to make change from their home without much effort. Booking a collection is as easy as 1-2-3.
