From the beginning, Russia has moved to a separate collection waste. As planned, the waste of raw materials, coupled with an increase in sorting tariffs on garbage collection should positively affect the closure of the old landfill and the construction of new plants for recycling. In China, these regulations came into force on 1 July. Now, households and companies to China to sort the dregs of four categories: compostable, solid, toxic and recyclable. The export is possible only at certain hours of the off-site locations.

Initially, Shanghai residents have a negative attitude to innovation. Chinese confused confusion with the definition of the type trash and inconvenient ejection system. In addition, non-compliance entails a large fine. The problem was solved with the help of advanced digital technology. The application determines the type of raw material by means of computer vision. Thus, using a mobile can be found in a specific container to throw out plastic bottle or paper cup.

Just three days to applications-sorters joined by more than a million users. The developers note that the service base includes 4000 waste types and is constantly updated. It is planned to define the type of raw material by the photo. Also for the "lazy" Chinese created the service "take away the garbage." Thus, models of waste carried away from the front door for just $ 2.
