Recycling Railway

In this new age of fighting climate change, we are being told to recycle as much as possible, but how many of us know exactly what goes in recycling and what goes in waste? This new voice-activated product will help you solve this problem - and have a bit of fun in the process! 

How does it work? 
The train is pre-programmed so that it knows which materials can be recycled. Therefore, when you have an item of rubbish that you don't know is recyclable, you simply...
  • Place your rubbish into the train carriage 
  • Call out the material of your rubbish
  • The point will switch 
  • The train will head to either the recycling or waste, depending on the material it heard, and tip out into the necessary bin 

What are the advantages of using lego bricks?
First and foremost - it's much more fun! Both the train itself and the carriage are fully customizable, meaning that anyone aged 0-99 can enjoy making their own design, and there are infinite ways of laying down a fun and interesting track 
Secondly, light bricks can be used for the pre-programmed games...

Other uses
GAMES - the train comes with a set of fun new games, for example:
  • Swear jar - should someone in the household accidentally let slip a forbidden word (e.g. pl*ymobil), the train will set off to a separate place on the track, where a compartment in the side will tip out a small amount of money into a tin. Since you can programme your own forbidden words, you can also use it to play the classic 'yes' and 'no' game
  • Recycling Quiz - Set to this mode, the train will help you learn recyclable materials off by heart. By calling out a material, and then 'recyclable' or 'not recyclable,' the train will listen and trigger either a light brick behind a red or green transparent brick, to help you learn the planet-saving knowledge
