“…The recycling company assesses the product via a traceability system and then calculates eco-credits (for the information about traceability and assessment, please refer to the relevant report developed by H2020 CIRC4Life project [13]). In addition, consumers can view the ecocredits in their eco-accounts and also obtain the information of recycling procedure using their mobile phone (for the information about consumer mobile app please refer to the authors' related paper [14]).…”

“…(a) Operation at the consumer side: The consumer opens the mobile App, which is developed by the CIRC4Life project supported by EU H2020 program [14], and checks whether the eco-credits are enough for planting trees. Then the consumer captures a screenshot picture of the QR code for the eco-incentive from the mobile App [14], and utilises the built-in e-mail application of the mobile phone to send an e-mail to the manager. In the email, the consumer is to include the following information: the intention (i.e., donation for tree planting), QR code picture, and the amount of trees to be converted by the eco-credits (20 eco-credits per tree).…”

“…With regard to the user's privacy and security, the QR code is produced with a dynamic protection method, which can be updated by the mobile App every time the user logs in, as presented in [14]. The QR code is to expire after using it for planting trees, which means that each code can only be used once.…”

“…In addition to paying the purchase discount, the consumer can also donate their ecocredits to tree planting [14]. To do so, an interactive test was carried out, starting with the consumer who sent a QR code (consumer identity for eco-incentive) to the manager via e-mail.…”

Recently, there has been a growing effort to reduce the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle, particularly during the end-of-life (EoL) stage. To incentivise consumers’ recycling/reusing behaviours and enhance their environmental awareness, a novel ICT-based system for recycling and eco-shopping has been developed in this paper. The recycling of EoL products is conducted based on information-communication technologies to remotely monitor and manage the recycled products (such as electronics or household bio-wastes), enabling consumers’ recycling process over the Internet. Consumers are awarded the eco-credits, which can be used for various forms of eco-incentives, such as shopping discounts, tree planting donations, and exchanges for theatre and museum tickets. The eco-costs reflect the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. The consumer is informed about the eco-costs through eco-shopping, which are displayed on a payment receipt. Both eco-costs and eco-credits are recorded in the consumer’s eco-account. To develop the recycling and eco-shopping system, multiple information-communication technologies are utilised, such as hardware digital monitoring/control, Internet-based communication services, traceability media (bar-code and QR code), user identity recognition and privacy protection, and multi-language supports. A case study is conducted, including online tracking of the recycling process and then implementing incentive activities with the eco-credits and eco-costs. The system has been successfully validated via illustrating recycling, eco-shopping, and eco-incentives in public places (e.g., schools, urban cultural centres), as well as promoting the consumer’s participation in recycling and enhancing their environmental awareness, which proved the successful implementation of the novel contribution of this research.

Nowadays, pollution keeps increasing due to social, political, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. Environmental awareness is close to zero because people prioritize personal activities. In that sense, the objective of this investigation is to raise environmental awareness in the population regarding the impact of pollution and support this through a mobile application (APP) that helps reduce pollution. The methodology used was the cascade, and through its phases, it was developed the prototype design of the mobile APP. The results obtained from this hybrid research were through a survey using ATLAS.ti 22; it concluded that environmental awareness begins at home and is taught by the parents, also it should be promoted from elementary school to high school and even in college. Moreover, in a survey, the users stated by 89% that the use of this mobile APP can help reduce the environmental impact. Also, in the validation through expert judgment, all the attributes were accepted with an average of 81%, that of functionality was the lowest, and the highest was that of consistency and integration with 83%. Finally, environmental education should be a priority policy in any country, as this will benefit its population.
