Overview
We are designing an efficient, highly participatory and rewarding pods’ recycling system.
"Re-Pod" adopts a reward mechanism to convert the recycled pods into points through the APP and smart recycling box. Meanwhile, combined with offline recycling activities, it will become a new way to popularise the knowledge of vapes.
We believe that the program can increase recycling rates, promote sustainability, and build user loyalty.

INTRODUCTION
We are designing an efficient, highly participatory and rewarding pods’ recycling system.
"Re-Pod" adopts a reward mechanism to convert the recycled pods into points through the APP and smart recycling box. Meanwhile, combined with offline recycling activities, it will become a new way to popularise the knowledge of vapes.
We believe that the program can increase recycling rates, promote sustainability, and build user loyalty.
BACKGROUND
UK Government focuses on recycling and disposal of vape waste, particularly environmental burden caused by vape pods waste.
According to news reports, retailers in the UK will now be fined for failing to set up a portable vape recycling programme, and there is no cap on the amount of the fine.

PROBLEM
STORYBOARD
I will habitually collect discarded pods, sometimes struggling with how to dispose of them, but in the end all I can do is throw them in the bin.

USER JOURNEY
CURRENT WASTE ElECTRONIC CIGARETTE RECYCLING SOLUTIONS
Judging from the current recycling of discarded pods, different brands of e-cigarette companies have different recycling strategies, but strategies alone are not feasible. Judging from the current recycling methods (such as mailing) disclosed by some companies, they are actually relatively backward.

FIELD RESEARCH
I did a field research, mainly in shopping malls with relatively large traffic. In
the shopping malls, I chose three supermarkets, Walmart, T&T and Shoppers
to shoot, and briefly drew the placement of the recycling device. From this
field research, I think the aisle wall of the shopping mall, or the wall near the
trash can is a suitable place to place the recycling device. At the same time, I
will also consider some outdoor locations so that people can use this
recycling device 24 hours a day.

I was inspired by the ATM machine screen language which has similarities to my recycling device screen language, so I used that as my guide to complete my screen language. NYC Condom dispenser approachable shape and casetify visual iconography also give me some inspiration for my recycling device.
