PlasticFolly

Motivation

My inspiration came from seeing a cow munching on bananas that were covered in plastic.

What it does

This web platform not only raises awareness about plastic; it also teaches users and provides plastic solutions. Using a deep learning model, it can determine how long it will take for plastic to degrade given a picture of the material; additionally, it has a plastic recycling track center where users can monitor the amount of plastic they use; this allows us to calculate the amount of water and air pollution the user contributes to.

How we built it

We used Teckstack components such as React Router, TailwindCSS, TensorFlow.js, chart.js, leaflet.js, and MERN (MMongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS, NodeJS).

Challenges we ran into

To create a foot print that uses user data to display the amount of plastic a user uses in the air, water, and soil, as well as a deep learning model that detects plastic and notifies the user of how long it will take for the plastic to degrade.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have incorporated with the best stacks, educating people about plastic and helping the environment.

What we learned

How plastic is destroying the planet so much and making many animals suffer and die as a result of human use of plastic.
