Idea Development : Audience, Purpose and Context
We had decided to make an interactive application.
Audience : 11-13 years old
Purpose : To educate the youngsters about recycle and understand more what is recycling.
Context : Classroom

Chosen Topic
For our mini project one, we had come with a few topic of global issue which is
-poverty
-recycle
-obesity
Out of this three topic we had decided to choose 'recycle' as our topic . The reason we choose this topic is because we want to educate the youngsters about recycle. For this mini project we decided to make an application.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
There are many reasons why we should recycle, which show why recycling is important for the future of our planet.
The term "reduce, reuse, recycle" is commonly used to provide simple guidance for people wishing to do their part:
1. Reduce: We need to reduce the amount of the earth's resources we use to make products which may not be essential.
2. Reuse: We need to adopt the habit of reusing products. Don't just throw an item away, instead, why not see if a friend, relative, or charity can make use of the item.
3. Recycle: We need to be able to identify old products which could be made into something new. Is the product recyclable?
To identify recyclable products, the universal recycling logo/symbol was introduced. The logo can be used for a variety of different reasons, for example, a recycling symbol with a percentage inside identifies a product made from recyclable material, and doesn't necessarily mean it can be recycled.
Some materials are much harder to recycle than others. Plastic based products can be very hard to recycle, when compared with paper based products.
For materials which are hard to break down, if we need these products for a vital purpose, then we should purchase durable goods which will last for a very long time, reducing the need to replace the item in the near future.

Recycling Industrial Waste
Although many government programs are concentrated on recycling at home, a large portion of waste is generated by industry. The focus of many recycling programs done by industry is the cost-effectiveness of recycling. The ubiquitous nature of cardboard packaging makes cardboard a commonly recycled waste product by companies that deal heavily in packaged goods, like retail stores, warehouses, and distributors of goods. Other industries deal in niche or specialized products, depending on the nature of the waste materials that are present.
The glass, lumber, wood pulp, and paper manufacturers all deal directly in commonly recycled materials. However, old rubber tires may be collected and recycled by independent tire dealers for a profit.
Recycling Codes
In order to meet recyclers' needs while providing manufacturers a consistent, uniform system, a coding system is developed. The recycling code for plastics was introduced in 1988 by plastics industry through the Society of the Plastics Industry.Inc. Because municipal recycling programs traditionally have targeted packaging – primarily bottles and containers – the resin coding system offered a means of identifying the resin content of bottles and containers commonly found in the residential waste stream.
Benefits of Recycling
-Saves energy
-Saves money
-Saves trees
What is Recycle?
Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste such as food or garden waste which is not typically considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.
In the strictest sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material—for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials instead.
