Design and implementation of ICT-based recycle-rewarding system for green environment

Abstract EN

This paper proposes a collaborative system called Recycle Rewarding System (RRS), and focuses on the aspect of using information communication technology (ICT) as a tool to promote greening.

The idea behind RRS is to encourage recycling collectors by paying them for earning points.

In doing so, both the industries and individuals reap the economical benefits of such system.

Finally, and more importantly, the system intends to achieve a green environment for the Earth.

This paper discusses the design and implementation of the RRS, involves : the architectural design, selection of components, and implementation issues.

Five modules are used to construct the system, namely : database, data entry, points collecting and recording, points rewarding, and web modules.

The RRS has been deployed at the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to encourage the collectors to support the green environment.
