Green Start Recycling App

Inspiration

We wanted to tackle a common problem which is being uneducated on why recycling is important and how one can even start to recycle.

What it does

Upon opening the app, users will be met with a tip of the day to encourage healthy recycling habits.

The users will be able to navigate through the home feed and read articles that strive to educate its visitors on recycling importance.

The education tab, located on the bottom-right corner will be supplemental material for education on recycling.

Users will go to a recycling center and scan a GreenStart QR code placed on a recycling bin.

Then, users will receive points depending on the material and weight of what is being recycled.

The points received will accumulate under the Rewards tab until the user meets the minimum amount for redemption towards a gift card.

How we built it

We built our whole demo using Adobe's prototyping tool: XD

Challenges we ran into

Unfortunately we're all first and second year computer science students with very minimal knowledge in using app development frameworks so we went ahead and created a visual high fidelity prototype that showcases what we want to accomplish.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were proud that even though we are handicapped by our programming skills, we were still able to produce a functioning prototype that looks good and works well.
