Middle East Technical University, with the recycling application initiated within the campus, makes recycling both attractive and fun. It’s aimed to increase the number of recycling booths that are initially placed in front of the Department of Basic English, ODTÜDEN Store, and dormitories area to recycle plastic, metal and glass waste.
The application requires downloading the MaxiLoyal app from the Google Play Store and the App Store and registering with the “metu” e-mail address, and provides gifts from ODTÜDEN store by turning the wastes that are thrown to recycling machines into points. After the glass, metal, and plastic wastes are thrown to the booth, points can be loaded on the application’s “scan&earn” part by using the QR code that appears on the screen. Plastic wastes worth three points, metal wastes worth two points, and glass wastes worth one point for each piece.
Apart from the application, battery recycling is also possible in recycling booths.
