Did you know that we could recycle 90% of our waste but less than 10% of waste actually gets recycled. We are OrganisedMatter, a group of 4 UQ students with the mission to contribute to SDG12 (responsible consumption and production) by sorting your rubbish for you. Come along to test our prototype bin that can detect whether your waste is a container for change or not using AI.
We are one of many international teams contributing to sustainable development doing a project as part of the Under the Sky Program led by WFUNA and funded by Sparebank 1.
