Recycling Habits: Student Survey

Students for Business & Organizations 351: International Entrepreneurial Exchange, are conducting a survey based on the recycling habits of students on campus. This information will be used for their product, Waste Wiz. Our business idea, Waste Wiz, involves a smart AI recycling bin designed to make recycling easy and convenient for large events. We aim to tackle the problem of low recycling rates and the significant amount of recyclable waste that currently ends up in landfills. Please feel free to take our survey to help further our market research for our product.
