Team:KEYSTONE/Proof Of Concept
As we said in our implementation, we are creating a trash can that contains the LCC enzyme for plastic degradation.
The possibility of the final implementation of our hardware is substantiated by the experimental results of our synthetic biology parts, as we were able to see plastic degradation by our LCC in effect, as well as produce linalool fragrance: https://2020.igem.org/Team:KEYSTONE/Engineering
The outcomes of our experiment is made applicable in real-life scenarios by our well-thought hardware design, which is a trash can known as B.B.Bin (Beach Bacteria Bin). The trash can will be placed in natural tourist sites and be used by tourists. We have several measures to ensure the safety of tourists and the effectiveness of plastic degradation.

To imagine our product in the society, we have also considered the economic efficiency of our product through propose entrepreneurship in here: https://2020.igem.org/Team:KEYSTONE/Entrepreneurship
Our human practices, especially our interview of Yang Xue, William Lindesay, Sally Silverstone, and Rósa Björk Halldórsdóttir instructed us on the context of our final product. Their suggestions not only guided us into the development of a more fitting hardware, but also provided valuable insights into the development of connected entrepreneurship through comments on the local society and economic status: https://2020.igem.org/Team:KEYSTONE/Human_Practices.
Through their comments, our team has ensured the successful use of our hardware by tourists at the tourist sites in the market setting.
