Campus kiosks convert plastic waste into eco-products and reward students through a gamified app to promote sustainable habits.
Plastic waste on campuses is a growing environmental issue, yet students often lack motivation and awareness to engage in recycling practices. Waste segregation is weak, recycling systems are not visible, and sustainability efforts feel abstract, resulting in low participation. Meanwhile, informal waste workers face unsafe working conditions, and recyclable material ends up in landfills. There is a need for a system that makes sustainability engaging, rewarding, and easy, allowing students to see the impact of their actions while reducing plastic waste and promoting responsible habits.
Floréa installs campus kiosks that convert collected plastic waste into useful eco-products like keychains. Students are rewarded with redeemable points through a gamified app, encouraging continuous participation and sustainability awareness. The solution makes recycling easy, visible, and engaging while promoting long-term eco-conscious habits.
Primary customers include students and educational institutions such as schools, colleges, and universities looking to encourage sustainability practices on campus. Secondary customers include eco-friendly brands, NGOs, recycling partners, CSR sponsors, and community sustainability programs that want to support youth engagement in environmental action. Institutions benefit through measurable impact and improved waste management; partners benefit through brand alignment with sustainability.
Floréa provides institutions with a practical and engaging sustainability solution that visibly reduces campus plastic waste while motivating students to participate through rewards and gamified engagement. Schools and colleges can demonstrate environmental responsibility, improve their green ratings, and create a culture of sustainability. CSR and eco-brand partners gain meaningful, trackable social impact visibility and can connect with youth in a positive way. By converting waste into usable products, Floréa increases environmental awareness, reduces landfill contribution, and supports the circular economy in an educational and community-friendly format.
