Eco-Track: Smart Waste Management System

**🌍 Inspiration

Waste management is a growing concern in Nepal, improper waste segregation, inefficient recycling, and overflowing landfills have become major environmental challenges. Many individuals and businesses lack the knowledge or resources to properly dispose of waste, leading to pollution and missed recycling opportunities**.

Inspired by these challenges, we created Eco-Track, a smart waste management system that uses AI-powered image classification to help users identify waste types, connect with recyclers, and track waste disposal habits. Our mission is to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and create a circular economy in Nepal.

♻️ What It Does
Eco-Track is a web-based platform that enables users to:
✅ Upload images of waste, which our AI model classifies as biodegradable or non-biodegradable.
✅ Get disposal recommendations for better waste management.

🛠️ How We Built It

Tech Stack:

🔹 Frontend: TypeScript + React.js (98.6%)
🔹 Styling: CSS (1.2%)
🔹 Logic & Integration: JavaScript (0.2%)
🔹 Database: clerk for auth 🔹 **Future Integration: Blockchain and AI for secure waste tracking & incentives.

🏆 Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

✅ Successfully implemented an AI-powered waste classification system.
✅ Developed a simple functional web app using TypeScript and React.js

**🚀 What's Next for Eco-Track

🔹 Mobile App Development for better accessibility and user engagement.
🔹 Enhancing AI Model Accuracy for better classification of complex waste types.
🔹 Blockchain-Based Waste Tracking for transparency and incentives.
🔹 Partnerships with Government & NGOs to scale waste management solutions.
🔹 Gamification & Rewards: Users can earn eco-points for proper waste disposal, redeemable for discounts or donations.
This are the some features which can be implemented in future.

Eco-Track is more than a waste classification tool—it’s a movement toward a cleaner, greener Nepal. By integrating AI, blockchain, and smart waste collection, we aim to **revolutionize waste management and build a sustainable future!
