人与社会——发明与创造
Have you seen any machines that eat used plastic bottles and give some coins to the users? Recently, such machines have appeared at universities in Chongqing. They can turn rubbish into treasure and encourage the public to recycle rubbish. The machine is as large as a fridge. Users put an empty bottle in the machine, and it is identified(识别)by a small camera. Then it is put into a bin inside. The users can get some coins.
When the machine is filled with bottles, it will tell the head office of the company. Nearby stations will send workers to have bottles collected, packed and sent to the company.
