Dress for Success: Automating the Recycling of School Uniforms

摘要

In this paper we present the Dress for Success (D4S) system, a web-supported vending machine for school uniforms. The main goal of the D4S system is to encourage and facilitate the recycling of school uniforms by automating the exchange between parents and minimizing the work necessary to donate and obtain second-hand school uniforms. By creating a sustainable system that facilitates the reuse of this clothing, we hope to reduce both the environmental and monetary cost associated with current uniform purchasing practices.
