Choy Kah Chun University Of Wollongong Malaysia

One For All Bin (OFAB) is a low-cost AI-powered recycling bin developed by students from University of Wollongong Malaysia to improve waste management efficiency. Using sensory fusion through audio and visual recognition with K230 and ESP32 microcontrollers, the system automatically identifies and sorts waste into aluminium, glass, plastic, paper, and general waste within 5 seconds. Built with recycled aluminium profiles, OFAB operates with high energy efficiency, including a 0.312W deep sleep mode and solar-powered capability. Costing only RM339.8, it is over 95% cheaper than existing alternatives, making it suitable for large-scale deployment in public spaces to encourage sustainable recycling practices.
