  • Publication number: 20230108985
    Abstract: A resource collection apparatus is an apparatus for collecting waste reusable as a resource. The resource collection apparatus includes an opening associated with a predetermined sorting type, an opening/closing unit configured to open and close the opening, a first detector configured to perform an operation to detect a target waste belonging to a user, and a controller configured to specify a sorting type into which the target waste is to be sorted, by using a result of the detection by the first detector. The controller switches the opening/closing unit from a closed state to an open state when the specified sorting type matches the sorting type associated with the opening.

  • Publication number: 20230004995
    Abstract: A resource recovery system is a system for recovering articles which can be recycled as resources. The resource recovery system includes a resource recovery apparatus that recovers the article discarded by a consumer, and a server apparatus that communicates with the resource recovery apparatus. The resource recovery apparatus transmits, to the server apparatus, a first message including an article identifier for identifying the recovered article. The server apparatus associates, based on the first message received from the resource recovery apparatus, a discarding time when the article is discarded with a provision time when the article is provided to the consumer.
