The Challenge

Despite increasing awareness, proper recycling remains a challenge for many due to limited information, hard-to-reach drop-off points, or lack of motivation. The Eco project aimed to remove these barriers by combining a user-friendly interface with advanced features like AI recognition, geolocation, gamification, and real-time reporting, all while contributing to climate goals and supporting a scalable business model.

Our Approach

Built through an agile and iterative process, Eco is centered around ease of use and engagement. The app includes an AI system that identifies waste from photos, a dynamic map that shows nearby recycling points by waste type, and a reporting tool for damaged or missing containers. Users earn points and rewards through eco-friendly actions, encouraging continuous participation. The product is designed to scale and integrate with local retailers and municipalities through contextual campaigns and partnerships.
