懶人回收計劃 Easy Recycle!

Description: 

回收膠樽、鋁罐誰也試過,但你知道回收前要先將容器清洗乾淨嗎?
有時在街上買飲品解渴,喝完後要先找水源清洗後才能扔進回收筒,其煩擾之處不言而喻。
我們的計劃正正希望解決這個問題,增加回收率,減低回收成本!

如何突破以往相關的計劃?
政府一直對回收計劃的類別、回收箱的密度進行檢討及改善。作為著重環保的市民,我們親身投入計劃,卻認為計劃另有一點值得改善。基於衛生、蚊患等的緣故,政府要求市民回收鋁罐、膠樽及玻璃容器時要簡單清洗容器。麻煩的是,回收筒往往與水源不近。若果在街上喝完一樽果汁,要先到公廁清洗,再到回收筒的收集點,才進成整個過程,時間跨度之闊,大大減少了回收的意欲。故此,是次計劃的重點在於拉近清洗地點和回收地點。
 
是次計劃參考法國波爾多酒節中的酒杯清洗裝置(見圖片)。當裝置感受到酒杯的壓力,便製造出蒸氣。當蒸氣接觸倒轉的酒杯,凝結成水滴,便把杯中的酒漬清洗掉。

如何有益於社會?往後討論?
完成是次計劃,將提高市民回收的便利程度,進而提升回收的意欲。
以後將研究:如何設計符合各種樽口大小的裝置?如何確保裝置的儲水庫不惹蚊患?

歡迎各位同學留下意見,助我們一臂之力!laugh

Very meaningful project. A few suggestions:
1) How easy is it to install such device?
2) How frequent should the device be maintained? Is it easy to maintain?
3) Will power supply be an issue?
4) Can it be used under all weather condition?
5) What kind of budget is needed to develop, produce, promote, install, and maintain such device?
6) For a pilot study to demonstrate proof-of-concept viability, where would you start? Who will be your partners?
