Bin That Think is a research project funded by the ANR Ecotech program, which aims at sorting domestic waste at early stage in order to reduce costs and risks in waste sorting center, as well as helping citizens to adopt environment respectful. To this end, Bin That Think introduces a new system for (1) identifying the waste which involve a reject during waste collection, (2) detecting incompatible products and (3) implementing a reporting infrastructure enabling an efficient management/planning of the waste collecting process. Bin That Think will use RFID and embedded sensors to enable waste containers as an intelligent waste infrastructure and a network of smart sensors.
