LusTra  (Ludique Smart Trash) : Towards an intelligent trash management system

The LusTra project aims to raise children's awareness to recycling. The goal is to create smart trash bins for elementary schools. These trash bins would give a feedback, and encourage the children to adopt a responsible recycling behavior. A trash bin is able to detect PET bottles while a second will check the aluminium cans. This original research and development project, is a common work between one team at HE-ARC (Neuchâtel) and one team at HEPIA (Geneva). This project was made possible through the funding granted by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland (HES-SO).
