Eco-Kiosk Plastic Disposal Inc.

The Eco-Kiosk project addresses the critical issue of plastic waste generated by American consumerism, which contributes to significant environmental damage, harming marine life and ecosystems. With alarming statistics indicating millions of sea birds and marine mammals killed annually by plastic pollution, our solution aims to provide an efficient, user-friendly disposal system. The Eco-Kiosk combines aesthetic design with sustainability, encouraging users to return plastic bags with a reward system that promotes recycling and raises awareness about the importance of reducing plastic use.
