PROTOTYPES PRESENTATION

Today we had a meeting with our counterpart aiming to show our three prototypes. The first one an awareness campaign based on the fact that people do not do separate their trash and, if they do, many people don’t know Tetra Pak packages are recyclable. Our second prototype showed data that comprove the cooperatives partnership feasibility and a possible way to reward these cooperatives for this partnership, and the third one a software to track the cooperative invoices and comprove the packages really arrived to recycling companies. Our counterpart like our ideas however there are several problems talking about cooperatives partnership feasibility and, one of them, is the fact that we can not validate this feasibility because quarantine does not allow us to contact the cooperatives and to hear from them how they would like to be rewarded. We tried the contact by phone but probably they are not working and the email answering rate was about 10%. After the counterpart feedback we decide to focus on our awareness campaign.

Everything I wanted is Feedback Today our focus was on improving the website and validating the awareness videos, for that, we prepared a questionnaire for asking people what are their impressions about the videos. We got 138 responses.  We decided to add a quiz to the website page so that the evaluation can be more dynamic and people get more interested in recycling. We are worried about our questionnaires that are answerless. We need more answers.

The Tetra Pak consultors did so many critics about the Brazilian Environmental Laws, the prefectures don’t want to do new debts with the recycling. The Tetra Pak company is searching and thinking about new methodologies to apply here in Brazil. We didn’t learn along with our lives how to recycle properly the material because we leave milk inside the box packages. The Industry doesn’t have so many persons interested in collect Tetrapak. The Chapadão do Céu, Goiás,  is a reference city in recycling. Our tutors oriented us to hear more people li
