Zero waste is the goal
Waste is produced in all the steps to produce a good.
CHINA

2015: “complete and advance” system to recycle the 70% of major waste products
Solutions could come from Western Methods & Systems?
W+K
Business have to turn as much green as possible.
The building already have ayis
Can the Ayi become the manager of the recycle system?
CONSUMER
The Ayi sorts my garbage everyday
Who doesn't recycle do not have a reason
Need awareness, artifacts and engagement (emotiona approch)
(we couldn't talk with here..)
If the target sorts the garbage since the beginning, the quantity of not-contaminated recycle material increase. More material > more RMB.
AYI
Waste > Recycle > RMB
