Saru Recycling

Saru aims to improve recycling by developing a low-maintenance, solar-powered outdoor recycling unit that instantly identifies recyclable material and sorts it internally, allocating CRV (California Refund Value) directly back to the user through their method of choice. Saru features internal sensors that record and analyze data such as the type of product recycled, the amount of material inside the unit at a given point, the volume of unit use, and the physical location of a unit via GPS. These features are oriented to increase recycling rates, provide cost-reduction strategies to the host property, and allow consumers to receive money back for conservationism, instantly and reliably.
