Waste Management
Country:
United States
City:
San Diego
Outline of project:
In order to reduce the volume of small electronics such as laptops, tablets and phones going to landfill ecoATM provides a way for consumers to recycle whilst receiving a financial incentive at the same time.
By using cloud based technology and built in diagnostic tools, the ecoATM kiosks are able to analyse the condition and quality of old consumer devices. The kiosks are then able to value them based on current market prices; providing the user with an instant cash payout should they choose to accept valuation of their old product.
ecoATM focuses on both the re-use and recycling of old devices.
What stage is the project at?
In Production
