Abstract

Recycling has gained global attention in recent decades. In emerging countries, recycling rates remain low despite public policy efforts. We present the prototype and initial case studies of a serious game designed to promote environmental awareness in Brazil. A quasi-experimental study (N = 32) was conducted using pre- and post-interaction questionnaires. Participants showed significant improvement in understanding sustainable practices, but no significant change in perceived knowledge or self-assessment.
