| dc.description.abstract | The demand for plastics is steadily rising, yet very little gets recycled due to its complex chemistry and cost to recycle. Plastic, being non- degradable, contributes to various forms of chemical pollution. Currently, recycling is one of the few means to mitigate plastic waste, but it requires proper disposal methods, ensuring it reaches recycling centers instead of landfills and not the environment. Despite municipalities offering recycling services to its residents, logistical hurdles often impede the plastic's journey to these centers. Apple's Airtags, utilizing Bluetooth technology, can track items over long distances using nearby iPhones to relay location information back to the AirTag owner, potentially aiding in waste management and tracking. This study aims to utilize Apple AirTags to monitor the movement of plastic waste intended for recycling in Denton County. By attaching Airtags to plastic waste, we'll track and report their trajectories. (Faculty Sponsor: Dr. John Beatty) Supported by NSF Award 1953448. | |
