1 Smart Recycling Bin Product Design Competition General 1. Main Organizer Environment Conservation Fund (ECF) Technological Higher Education Institute Hong Kong (THEi) 2. Introduction Large amount excess Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is an annoying urban born environmental issue that occupies great amount l area generates concentrated leachate. To mitigate se impacts, countries or cities in Asia, Europe US have carried out various measures reduce waste generation. Taipei City South Korea have been good examples due ir recycling awareness advanced quantity-based MSW charging policies. However, current quantity-based MSW charging method is not sustainable enough recycle excess MSW. Recycling recovery support/device needs be upgraded provide sufficient convenient ways complete source separation domestic waste that can encourage residents recover more minimize generation MSW. Hong Kong waste separation practice is not well-developed due limited l availability kitchen space. It is difficult place recycling bins at

2 home in kitchen that hinders waste separation at source. In order implement foster regular recycling practice, proposed Smart Recycling Bin Product Design Competition will be launched as an educational activity encourage public participate in designing waste-resource separation units, are feasible be applied in Hong Kong. The goal for this competition is focus on inspiring public generate innovative designs for compact stylish waste-resource separation units, fit small compact place in Hong Kong. 3. Entry Categories i. Junior (Primary 1-6) ii. Secondary (Secondary 1-6) iii. Public (Postsecondary or above) 4.

Design Criteria In order foster practical waste separation use recycling bin at home in Hong Kong, designs should be considered as well-fitted Hong Kong living stard due limited spatial requirement suitable for typical dwelling. The minimum compartments in recycling collection bin should be designed as one for metal, one for plastic one for paper. The actual dimension recycling bins should not exceed by maximum 1,400mm 1,400mm 1,400 mm. All designs should be illustrated in proper scale except junior participants. The base colour recycling bins can be decided by participants not limit following existing design from Environmental Protection Department. The mix match colour should be considered attract users enhance use recycling bins at home. 7. Competition Judgement Criteria (See Appendix A1, Appendix A2 Appendix A3) i. Design Concept ii. iii. iv.
