Millennium Fellowship Project: Recyclopedia
Recyclopedia: Know Before You Throw is a project led by Cayla Deane and Hannah Chambers, aiming to improve recycling practices at Griffith University. By integrating QR codes on bins, the initiative provides instant, clear information on what can and cannot be recycled. The project seeks to reduce contamination in recycling streams, promote sustainable waste management, and encourage behavioral change within the university community.
