Singapore Polytechnic

Huimin law student was so excited stored in the recycling of recyclable materials from households in his room. However, several of his classmates had parents that were the items recycled too much space in their homes complained and looked ugly in the kitchen.
Thus, women decided law and five other students from Singapore Polytechnic (SP), a trash elegant design, compact and for its planned end of the year following implementation of a survey of 100 households, HDB residents.
Women's rights, property, 19 years and student facilities management, said: "We have found that the majority of Singaporeans (87 percent), you may want to recycle more, but to encourage the lack of recycling bins at home, they do."
Although the national recycling rate in Singapore has increased in recent years - from 47 percent in 2003 to 57 percent in 2009 - the separate collection of paper, glass and plastic products for households and businesses in 2009 was only 48 percent, 21 percent and 9 percent. The recycling rate for slag, construction debris and non-ferrous metals in the same year, 99 percent, 98 percent and 92 percent.
Students expect their SP trash is recycled in Singapore. 40cm 53cm by measuring 71 cm, the box has three compartments flexible and adaptable to three different types of materials.
Students Daryl Lim, 19, said: "It is very important to separate the garbage, otherwise it is polluted, the entire collection, you can recycle it."
The compartments can be closed to smells and a sliding cover hides the contents to prevent the box. The high rollers on the bottom of the box reduces the volume of recyclable materials.
Although the platform is designed for home use can be extended to commercial use, said the student.
SP expects a manufacturer of cans and trusts that can retail for under $ 20.
For his efforts, the six students received a special award of merit of $ 2,000 Sembawang Shipyard Green Wave Environment Competition in October. The competition challenges students to exchange ideas and innovative projects that improve and protect the environment.
