摘要

This study presents an innovative incentive-driven plastic recycling system aimed at urban sustainability, tackling the escalating problem of plastic waste and its environmental repercussions. The suggested solution integrates real-time data collecting, intuitive technologies, and customized incentives to promote recycling engagement. The research examines the attitudes, practices, and perceptions of 288 survey participants about plastic recycling and the incorporation of technology. Findings indicate that 56% of respondents participate in recycling activities, with relationships between technology familiarity and recycling behavior implying the viability of this method. Cross-tabulation and regression analysis highlight the impact of demographic factors, including age and societal pressures, on recycling behavior. This establishes a basis for focused attempts to enhance recycling rates. The system’s Design provides innovative solutions to barriers such as accessibility and cost, allowing scalable application in various urban settings globally.

Furthermore, the participants exhibit moderate technological proficiency, underscoring the necessity of accommodating diverse levels of technical competence in system design. This study demonstrates how incentive-based strategies can transform recycling practices and promote an environmentally advantageous and economically sustainable paradigm for widespread global implementation.
