| Abstract |
eBin is a social persuasive system to motivate reflection and behavioral change in the food waste and recycling habits of young adults, especially in dormitory student's mess scenario for developing and underdeveloped countries. This paper provides a new automated measuring and accounting system, which helps discover trends in food wastage by correlating the food wastage with various other parameters like number of people generating that food, day of week and time of day. Another part of this system presents useful insights from the data we collect to the students eating in the mess, so as to encourage a change in their behavior. This part consists of an LED display that presents the gross food waste that has been generated, associated cost of the food being dumped and an online portal wherein people can get more detailed information using easy to understand graphs and charts. |
