About Uni(re)Cycle

Uni(re)Cycle is an app that helps you build sustainable habits. The application is designed to motivate the users of University of Amsterdam and University of Applied Sciences of Amsterdam campuses to make sustainable choices about their waste production and overall environmental impact.

It works by providing the user with challenges centered around sustainability – for example, packing lunches in reusable containers, rather than purchasing a packaged lunch. Once challenges are completed, users earn points that can be traded for rewards (discounts to products from sustainable partners!). Combined points also contribute to users’ place on the campus leaderboard, allowing users to compete with their friends. This gamification-based system utilises evidence-based intervention strategies for behavioural change, such as nudges, goal setting, and competition.
