Introducing Moby S. Loop, our
Recycling Robot!

Moby S. Loop is part of RRFB Nova Scotia’s education and awareness team. Moby travels to schools, festivals and other events all over Nova Scotia to support local efforts to promote waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting. He is a remote-controlled robot who can speak, shake hands, sing songs, and even do a “recycling dance.” He is blue in colour and approximately 4 feet tall. Moby loves to interact with kids and adults alike, and he is sure to bring a smile to your face!

The Mobius Loop

Moby is named after the Mobius Loop, which is the international symbol for recycling. Discovered in 1858 by German mathematician and astronomer August Ferdinand Mobius, this fascinating shape is meant to symbolize transformation. In the world of recycling, it represents the process of transforming waste materials into useful resources.

The Blue Planet

Moby has traveled a long distance to join the team here at RRFB Nova Scotia. Moby is from the Blue Planet, located in a faraway solar system. Many years ago, all of the robots on the Blue Planet realized that there was too much garbage on their planet and decided to do something about it. They worked together to reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost and their planet blossomed into a clean and beautiful place to live!

Today, the robots of the Blue Planet have become experts on the three R’s and composting and they travel all over the universe teaching how to make the world a cleaner place. This is why Moby is here in Nova Scotia—to tell kids and adults why it is so important to reduce, reuse, recycle, and compost.

Moby‘s Adventures

Moby has been very busy! Last year, he delivered 310 presentations at 172 different community events and schools across Nova Scotia. He had the pleasure of talking to over 1000 adults and almost 15,000 students about the three R’s and composting!
