Koleta app for iPhone and iPad

The place for garbage is in the garbage. And the place for Koleta is on your Smartphone or Tablet. That’s it. Koleta is a game that teaches and encourages, in a simple and fun way, people to sort garbage properly, according to the color scheme commonly used in recycling bins. Koleta’s mechanics have no secret. Different types of garbage fall down from the top of the screen and you have to think quickly, changing the color of the bin that will receive it, so it goes to the right place: glass (green bin), metal (yellow bin), plastic (red bin) and paper (blue bin). If the person cannot throw the garbage into the right recycling bin, the game resumes. When the record is broken, the score is recorded. The speed of falling garbage increases as time passes, making the game increasingly challenging. With Koleta everyone learns the importance of recycling, having fun at the same time!


About Recycling
Recycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy.
There are some ISO standards related to recycling such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management control of recycling practice.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. The composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is also considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.
In the strictest sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material—for example, used office paper would be converted into new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (e.g., paperboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (e.g., lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (e.g., removal and reuse of mercury from various items).
