The Solution: A garbage classification application and website powered by image recognition through machine learning and neural networks.

How 0waste works

• Open the 0waste web app
• Take a picture of a piece of garbage
• Get garbage classification and use the correct bin to save the planet!

Stage 1: ✅ Garbage classification through image recognition app

This serves as both a proof of concept, and assists users to correctly recycle/compost trash that usually goes to the landfill.

Stage 2: Build a garbage can with automatic landfill, compost, and recycling sorting

This eliminates the burden on the user to pick the correct bin and guarantees sorted garbage.
