Proper waste sorting is crucial for both economic and environmental reasons. Yet, its effectiveness can be strongly limited when citizens do not know how to correctly separate waste, sometimes even due to different regulations depending on their municipality. We have hence devoted our efforts to the creation of a serious game able to teach people of all ages how to match the various trash cans with the corresponding type of waste.

Abstract

Proper waste sorting is crucial for both economic and environmental reasons. Yet, its effectiveness can be strongly limited when citizens do not know how to correctly separate waste, sometimes even due to different regulations depending on their municipality. We have hence devoted our efforts to the creation of a serious game able to teach people of all ages how to match the various trash cans with the corresponding type of waste. Although we have considered the city of Padua, Italy, as a case study, our application can be easily adapted to different waste sorting regulations.
