Barcode scanner helps you recycle

Confused about whether or not to recycle your discarded packaging? Eugene, the recycling barcode scanner by French start-up Uzer, is the answer. "There is a motion sensor, so every time you come next to Eugene to scan the product, to throw out the product, the camera will turn on. Eugene will tell you how to recycle the different components of your product. For example, Eugene tells you that the cardboard goes to the recycling bin and the plastic tube goes to landfill bin," co-founder of Eugene, Paul Alarcon, said.
