EcoVend – Smart Recycling Reward Machine is an innovative solution designed to promote sustainable behavior among students by making recycling engaging and rewarding. The system encourages students to recycle plastic bottles by providing instant incentives such as small treats, transforming a routine task into an enjoyable experience. By addressing the lack of motivation in traditional recycling practices, EcoVend uses simple technology—sensors, a microcontroller, and a reward mechanism—to create positive behavioral change. This innovation supports environmental sustainability by reducing plastic waste and fostering responsible consumption habits in schools. It is user-friendly, cost-effective, and suitable for daily use in educational environments. EcoVend not only improves recycling rates but also builds environmental awareness and long-term habits among students. Ultimately, it demonstrates how interactive and reward-based systems can effectively cultivate a culture of sustainability within school communities.
