Genesis 1 Technologies is combining barcode scanning, sensors, and real-time data tracking to prevent contamination and turn everyday recycling into a measurable, trackable, and rewardable process. It prevents recyclables to be mixed with trash or non-recyclable materials, contaminating entire batches and causing them to be sent to landfills. Company's main product - Topper Stopper - is a retrofitted lid of sorts that mounts directly onto a recycling bin. Instead of allowing users to toss items freely, though, it requires each item to be scanned before disposal. Once the system recognizes it, the door opens, you put the item in, and then it closes. If the item is not recyclable, the bin does not open, effectively preventing contamination before it can occur. Sensors inside the unit also track when items are deposited and monitor how full the bin becomes.
