Eugene, The Smart Recycling Tool

Eugene by Uzer is a "smart recycling tool" that scans trash before it is thrown away – and tells users whether the trash needs to be recycled.

Eugene uses a product database, supplied by Walmart and Amazon, to determine whether things are trash or recyclables. This tool also is compatible with a smartphone app and lets you track how much you've recycled by weight and what you've thrown in the garbage. The gadget is currently available in Europe.
