Novel mobile application system for implementation of an eco-incentive scheme.
Sustainability, 14 (5): 3055.
Abstract
In order to incentivise consumers' sustainable consumption, a mobile application system is de-veloped to implement an eco-incentive scheme, in which eco-credits are awarded to consumers, who recycle and reuse end-of-life products, and they can use the eco-credits for discount in shopping, exchange with museum/theatre tickets, and donation for tree planting. In this paper, the related concept and eco-incentive scheme are introduced first, then the infrastructure of the mobile application system is presented, and the system development is detailed. The mobile system in-frastructure consists of three layers: database server, communication and integration, and four functional modules including user registration and login, obtain eco-credits, spend/donate eco-credits, and view eco-credit history. Multiple mobile development techniques are utilised to implement the mobile application system. A case study was conducted, demonstrating that the mobile application for eco-incentive can efficiently support consumers to recycle the products and manage their reward records. The literature review and user survey revealed that there has not been a mobile application system with the eco-incentive functions of the mobile App presented in this paper, which indicates the novelty of this research.
