“…The effect of a trash can that is capable of taking pictures of its content is investigated in the BinCam [3,4,21]. Here, a bin was modified with sensors and whenever a new item was discarded, a picture was uploaded to a Facebook page.…”

Sorting garbage is a relevant topic in many countries as it contributes to environmental protection. Empirical evidence suggests that not all people separate waste, potentially because they do not know how to do it correctly or are simply not motivated enough. We present the results of an online study (N=184) investigating people's capabilities for classifying waste, their capabilities to improve in this task over time and their current garbage separation behavior. The study confirms that the Wisdom of Crowds is applicable in this context as the crowd produces only half as many errors as the individual and feedback helps participants to improve. Based on this, we introduce the idea of a crowd classifying waste in a game, with their classification result then being used as feedback on gamified public trash cans to educate both the crowd playing the game and people using the trash can playfully.

“…Wu and Huang (2015) observed players' attitudes while playing a solid waste management simulation game. Similar assessments were conducted by Comber et al (2013), who examined BinCam using surveys, and Berengueres et al (2013), who measured collection rates in an emoticon recycle bin.…”

“…BinCam is a trash bin that employs multiple forms of engagement and feedback, such as instantly uploading a picture of trash to a person's Facebook account. Deployed in six student houses at Newcastle University, the bin raised awareness of recycling and food waste behavior, with some gamification elements working better than others (Comber et al, 2013;Comber & Thieme, 2017). Moving away from municipal waste, the Industrial Waste Game aimed to enable players to understand the social dilemma between individual interests of hazardous dumping and the social cost of treating pollution.…”

Knowledge strongly affects attitudes toward waste management; thus, embedding an environmental mentality at a young age is crucial. Game-based interventions, such as gamification and game-based learning, have huge potential to be effective learning tools. This paper examines the potential of gamification to improve waste management practices among schoolchildren through a narrative review of 25 papers on gamification for waste management and gamification for schoolchildren. The effectiveness of game-based learning and gamification in mitigating waste management issues with schoolchildren has not yet been well-described in the literature; however, the evolving market in related sectors is a strong indication of their potential. A robust understanding of social and behavioral theories is necessary for implementing gamification and game-based learning effectively. Additionally, the game elements, design, and mechanics that can achieve the most positive impacts should be explored further. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the body of knowledge in the environmental sector on gamification as an innovative process for improving household-level waste management behavior among schoolchildren.

“…In [33] we list examples of some digital attempts to visualise information regarding food related behaviour. These include the use of technology for visualizing food-miles [34], and helping users to reflect on food waste [35][36][37]. Also, a recent systematic literature review analysed digital behaviour change interventions related to sustainable food consumption, including visual interventions promoting organic food shopping [38].…”

Although food retailers have embraced organic certified food products as a way to reduce their environmental loading, organic sales only make up a small proportion of total sales worldwide. Most consumers have positive attitudes towards organic food, but attitudes are not reflected in behaviour. This article addresses consumers’ attitude-behaviour gap regarding their purchase organic food and reports on how visualization of personal shopping data may encourage them to buy more organic food. Through the design of the visualization tool, the EcoPanel, and through an empirical study of its use, we provide evidence on the potential of the tool to promote sustainable food shopping practices. Sixty-five users tested the EcoPanel for five months and interviews were made with ten of these. The test users increased their purchase of organic food with 23%. The informants used the EcoPanel to reflect on their shopping behaviour and to increase their organic shopping. We conclude that the visualization of food purchases stimulates critical reflection and the formation of new food shopping practices. This implies that food retailers may increase sales of organic food through using a visualization tool available for their customers. In this way these retailers may decrease their environmental impact.
