$ Colour: there are three different types of bin, distinguished by colour
letting Material be new type enum {glass,plastic,steel,wood,copper},

$ capacity: each bin type (colour) has a certain capacity
given quantity : function (total) Material --> int(0..),
      capacity : function (total) Colour --> int(0..)

$ Bin: bins are represented by an unnamed type. the number of values is the same
$      as the total amount of material that is required
letting Bin be new type of size (sum m : Material . quantity(m))

$ colour: each bin is assigned a colour
$ contents: the contents of each bin is a multiset of materials
find colour : function Bin --> Colour,
