Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a recycling waste collection system, and more particularly, to a recycling waste collection system that increases the willingness to participate in voluntary recycling activities and increases the good recycling rate of resources by providing compensation to recycling waste emitters.

Background Art

[0002] Recently, globally, carbon reduction for preventing global warming and reduction of landfill / incineration of waste have been recommended. As part of this, correct separation and discharge habits of recycling waste and improvement of the recycling rate of recycling waste are required.

[0003] In particular, recently, the increase in takeout, delivery, and various types of home delivery services has led to a sharp increase in the amount of such recycling waste.

[0004] The types of recycling waste include paper, plastic, old iron (steel), aluminum, glass bottles, etc. For example, as paper items, there are newspapers, milk cartons, etc., and as plastic items, there may be PET bottles, lids of PET bottles, main bodies of food packaging containers, lids of food packaging containers, etc. (It can also be subdivided by capacity, and various items can be applied / input into the recycling waste collection system according to the present invention).

[0005] On the other hand, when recycling waste is discharged, generally, the concept of receiving compensation is not applied when the emitter, that is, an individual at home, a person in charge at a workplace, etc., separates and discharges recycling waste in front of the house or in front of the workplace. Therefore, there is an increasing need to increase the willingness of emitters to participate in voluntary recycling.

[0006] Conventionally, even when compensation is provided to the discharger, the compensation value was determined only based on weight measurement using a collection box (discharge box). However, it is reasonable that the compensation value should be applied only to recyclable materials, that is, materials that meet the criteria for being reusable as processing raw materials (e.g., in the case of paper, the base paper; in the case of plastic, the manufacturing plastic), and that recyclable materials can be selected based on usability considering the presence or absence of foreign substances, cleaning status, etc. There is a problem in that unnecessary compensation may rather act as a factor inhibiting the correct separation and discharge habit of recyclable waste.

[0007] The prior art was not necessarily publicly known to the general public before the filing of the present invention. It was either held by the inventor in order to conceive the present invention or was technical information acquired during the process of conceiving the present invention.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0015] The recyclable waste collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a discharger terminal of a discharger who discharges recyclable waste, a sorter terminal of a sorter who sorts recyclable materials from the collected and transported recyclable waste, and a central server that is communicably provided with the discharger terminal and the sorter terminal, receives an input of recyclable waste discharge application information from the discharger terminal, transmits it to a collector terminal held by a collector who collects and transports the recyclable waste to the sorter side, receives an input of recyclable material sorting related information from the sorter terminal, generates compensation information based on this, and transmits it to the discharger terminal.

[0016] In this case, the discharger terminal may include a first communication unit communicably provided with the central server, a first display unit providing a user interface enabling use of the recyclable waste collection system, a first input unit into which recyclable waste discharge-related information including discharge application information is input and into which compensation information of the central server received through the first communication unit is input, a first output unit transmitting the recyclable waste discharge-related information input into the first input unit to the central server through the first communication unit and outputting the compensation information of the central server input into the first input unit to the first display unit, a first database unit storing information generated, received, and transmitted by the discharger terminal, and a first control unit controlling the first communication unit, the first display unit, the first input unit, the first output unit, and the first database unit.

[0081] In this case, the central control unit 1600 can be configured to perform a procedure including a step of applying for recycling waste discharge (S10), a step of determining whether to collect (S20), and a step of generating / providing compensation information (S30). At this time, the central control unit 1600 can be further configured to perform a step of generating / providing information for behavior improvement (S40).

[0082] Regarding the step of applying for recycling waste discharge (S10), the central control unit 1600 can be configured to perform a step of receiving the input of the discharge application information of the discharger terminal 100.

[0083] Regarding the step (S20) of determining whether to collect or not, the central control unit 1600 can be configured to perform the step of generating non-collection application notification information when the weight or total weight of each item of recyclable waste to be discharged based on the discharge application information of the discharger terminal 100 is less than the set value, and transmitting it to the discharger terminal 100 through the central communication unit 1100. In this case, the discharger terminal 100 can be configured to request a text notification (e.g., "It does not reach the application standard weight (Kg).") or re-entry. Through such steps, the recyclable waste collection system according to the embodiment of the present invention can block the case where a small amount of recyclable waste without economic efficiency is collected and transported.

[0084] Regarding the step (S30) of generating / providing the compensation information, the central control unit 1600 compares the weight information of each recyclable item of the sorter terminal 200 with the carbon reduction amount matching data for each item weight already stored, converts it into a carbon reduction amount, calculates it into the compensation points corresponding to the carbon reduction amount, and transmits it to the discharger terminal 100 as compensation information. The carbon reduction amount matching data for each item may be stored in the central database unit 1500. Also, the compensation points may be, for example, carbon neutral practice points operated by the Korea Environment Corporation, gift coupons (gifticon) operated by partner companies, etc. Through such steps, the recyclable waste collection system according to the embodiment of the present invention enhances the willingness of each user to participate in recycling voluntarily by providing compensation to the dischargers of recyclable waste.

[0085] On the other hand, for the step (S30) of generating / providing the compensation information, the central control unit 1600 can be configured to calculate compensation points by applying a weight proportional thereto based on the weight ratio of recyclable items for each item to the recyclable waste discharge amount for each item based on the recyclable item sorting-related information of the sorter terminal 200. That is, the step (S30) of generating / providing the compensation information may be performed in such a way that the more recyclable items actually discharged by the discharger, the higher the compensation points obtained. Through such steps, the recyclable waste collection system according to the embodiment of the present invention provides only legitimate compensation for the recyclable portion of the recyclable waste discharged by the discharger of recyclable waste, thereby inducing each user to develop a correct habit of separating and discharging recyclable waste (e.g., discharging after undergoing a cleaning step due to the high recycling rate of a food packaging container body, which is a single item of plastic).

[0086] Regarding the step (S40) of generating / providing the information for behavior improvement, the central control unit 1600 accumulatively stores and statistically analyzes the recycling waste discharge-related information and recyclable item sorting-related information for each usage frequency of a plurality of dischargers, and when it is determined that the sorting ratio of recyclable items of a specific item of a specific discharger is lower than the average sorting ratio of recyclable items of the specific item of a plurality of dischargers, it further generates caution information for inducing improvement of the recycling waste treatment habit of the specific item and additionally transmits it as information for behavior improvement to the discharger terminal 100 of the specific discharger. For example, through statistical analysis of discharger A, when the sorting ratio of recyclable items of the food packaging container body, which is an item of plastic for discharger A, is lower than the average value of others, the central control unit 1600 can be configured to send character information "In the case of the food packaging container body, it can be recycled only after being washed so that no food remains and then separated and discharged." to the discharger terminal 100 as a character notification. At this time, the discharger terminal 100 can be configured to be capable of character notification. On the other hand, it is more accurate to utilize the recyclable item sorting-related information input from the sorter rather than the input information of the discharger.

[0087] Also, regarding the step (S40) of generating / providing the behavior improvement information, the central control unit 1600 accumulatively stores and statistically analyzes the recycling waste discharge-related information and the recyclable item sorting-related information for each usage count of a plurality of dischargers. When it is determined that the usage ratio of a specific item of a specific discharger is higher than the average usage ratio of the specific item of the plurality of dischargers, the central control unit 1600 further performs a step of generating challenge information for inducing improvement of the usage habit related to the specific item and additionally transmitting it as behavior improvement information to the discharger terminal 100 of the specific discharger. For example, through statistical analysis of discharger A, when the amount of recycling waste of the food packaging container body, which is a type of plastic of discharger A, accounts for a higher ratio in the total amount of recycling waste or the amount of plastic recycling waste compared to others, the central control unit 1600 can be configured to generate a challenge function of "Use my own container (target: 2 meals / day)" for the discharger terminal 100. At this time, the discharger terminal 100 can be configured to activate the challenge function and receive and evaluate information input regarding the degree of execution by the user. On the other hand, it is more accurate to utilize the recyclable item sorting-related information input from the sorter rather than the input information of the discharger.

[0088] Consequently, the step (S40) of generating / providing the behavior improvement information may be configured to generate information for alerting the discharger to input accurate information when there is a large difference between the input information of the discharger (recycling waste discharge-related information) and the input information of the sorter (recyclable item sorting-related information), and transmit it to the discharger terminal 100. In this case, the discharger terminal 100 can be configured to display the information. Through such steps, the recycling waste collection system according to the embodiment of the present invention provides behavior improvement information related to recycling waste to the dischargers of recycling waste, thereby teaching each user the correct habit of separating and discharging recycling waste.

[0089] On the other hand, when a tree-planting game program for planting trees in a theme space including a virtual garden, park, and mountain is installed on the discharger terminal 100, the central control unit 1600 can be configured to pay the game item "tree" corresponding to the carbon reduction amount converted in the step (S30) of generating / providing the compensation information to the discharger terminal 100 side together with the compensation points.

[0090] In this case, the tree-planting program of the discharger terminal 100 is configured to automatically or passively plant the "tree" paid together with the compensation points by the central control unit 1600, and the theme space where the "tree" is planted is upgraded in the order of garden, park, mountain (or, field) as the amount of the planted "tree" increases.

[0091] Therefore, in the tree-planting game driven by the discharger terminal 100, the amount of trees gradually increases in proportion to the carbon reduction amount based on the selected recyclable items and weights, and thereby the theme space where the trees are planted is sequentially upgraded, so that in addition to the economic compensation for the discharger by the environmentally friendly activities, an entertainment element can be provided, which can be a factor for the discharger to enjoyably and continuously carry out the environmentally friendly activities (separation and discharge of sorted recyclable waste).

[0092] As described above, the recyclable waste collection system according to the present invention increases the willingness of each user to participate in recycling voluntarily by providing compensation to the dischargers of recyclable waste, and provides only the legitimate compensation for the recyclable portion of the recyclable waste discharged by the dischargers of recyclable waste, thereby inducing the correct separation and discharge habit of recyclable waste for each user. The recyclable waste collection system according to the present invention provides information for improving the behavior related to recyclable waste to the dischargers of recyclable waste, thereby enabling each user to learn the correct separation and discharge habit of recyclable waste, encouraging each discharger of recyclable waste to participate in recycling voluntarily, and increasing the good circulation rate of resources to increase the degree of carbon reduction on the earth.

[0093] As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but this is merely exemplary, and it should be understood that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible based on ordinary knowledge in the field to which the technology belongs. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention is determined by the claims described below and should be defined based on the specific content of the invention described above.
