JIN703: Refill And Recycle Hub

AMIYA AZZAHRA BINTI MOHAMAD HAFEEZ SK ST BERNADETTE'S CONVENT

The Refill and Recycle Hub – Smart Water Dispenser with Recycling System is an innovative solution designed to promote healthy hydration, hygiene, and environmental sustainability, especially in underserved and inner community areas. This system integrates a touch-free water dispensing mechanism with a built-in recycling unit, encouraging users to drink clean water while responsibly disposing of plastic waste. By addressing common issues such as limited access to safe drinking water, poor hygiene practices, and improper waste management, the project supports Sustainable Development Goals 6 and 12. Constructed using low-cost and accessible materials, the hub is portable, practical, and suitable for schools, rural communities, and public spaces. It fosters positive behavioral change by combining convenience with environmental responsibility. Ultimately, the innovation demonstrates how simple, scalable solutions can create meaningful impact in improving public health and reducing plastic pollution in rural areas.
