Due to the increased waste generation rate, companies like Ombori Grid have come out to seek solutions to minimize waste production. These wastes are produced mainly by big industries like the Fashion industry that emits carbon and pollute water bodies with micro-plastics. Study shows that a high percentage of up to 85% of textiles are dumped every year.
Ombori Grid has come up with a Smart Recycling Technology that will aid in reporting concerns that relate to waste in the fashion industry. Ombori Grid believes that this kind of technology will also enable consumers to recycle since they will have an opportunity to interact with the technology and have more information about recycling.
H&M, a renowned Fashion store, was among the first retailers to use Smart Recycling technology. By using this technology, consumers can donate unwanted clothing and be rewarded for it. Most people’s intentions are honorable when it comes to recycling; however, some people put anything into recycling bins without checking whether what they have put is recyclable. Items that cannot be recycled are sorted out and sent to a landfill, where they stay for a long time. Therefore people are urged only to take usable items to help someone else.
Ombori Smart Recycling Technology benefits both the consumer and retailers. Consumers benefit by receiving discounts whenever they donate their clothes, while the retailers benefit by having loyal customers that seek biodegradable brands. It is, therefore, the responsibility of both the consumer and the retailers to implement this kind of technology to ensure a healthier and sustainable future for the young generation.
