Project 1 - Prototyping Plan
GreenBox
- An indoor composting solution for users.
Features:
- GreenBox will run on a thin high pressure stream of water to push around the waste the user puts in and sorts it in the respective section.
- This would be done by sensors on the inside lid section that will use AI and other features to sense if the waste is organic/ compostable/ or just landfill.
- GreenBox has a screen on the front that tells the user how many KG/ LBS they composted and how much water was used.
- GreenBox makes use of the water used to sort the items as water is required anyway for the composting process.
- The product will also connect to the users phone to deliver important information such as whether the compartments are full.
- The app will also measure how many KGs/ LBS the user composted and generates discount rewards for them at participating retail brands.
- One of the most important points for users was the anti-smell capabilities. To combat this, GreenBox’s lid is airtight which allows a perfect seal and an odorless experience. Furthermore, the sorting platform is also airtight, further sealing the users from unnecessary smells.
