ABSTRACT
Recycling in Mexican society faces challenges due to the lack of successful programs and limited citizen interest, resulting in the accumulation of solid waste in landfills. To address this issue, it is proposed to develop an interactive prototype of a container for primary school children in Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca. The prototype, based on technology and multimedia content, aims to promote awareness and proper plastic sorting. A Design Thinking approach will be applied to understand user needs and materialize the functional proposal. It is expected that this prototype will encourage plastic collection and sorting in primary schools, thereby improving recycling habits in the community.
