| Eco-robot Dr Boomerang to recycle empgy cans and PET bottles |
Bright and bold, these eco-robots are a common sight at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification with several of them on display for which Pacific island delegates have been interested in.
Also known as automated recycling equipment, there are different types of eco-robot types that dispose of bottles, cans, plastics, films, glass bottles and cell phones. They automatically control the process of handling valuable recyclables including sorting, compressing, separating, storing and recovery. The eco-robot also comes with an eject door for unidentified objects and can compress up to 30 pieces per minute.

They were developed by a company from Korea called Eco-save that was formed in 2007 and develops and manufactures environment-friendly recycling automated equipment.
In order to use the Eco-robot you must be a member for which you are provided with a membership card. You insert your card before inserting your recyclables into the eco-robot, from there your recyclables will be processed and the weight of your carbon dioxide emission will be shown to you and the points you receive for recycling will be added on to your membership card.
