  Late night working- aluminum can is recyclable.

Inspiration: Knowing when and how to recycle thing can be difficult, and we believe living a sustainable lifestyle should not be that difficult.

What it does: Recycle-me take a picture of an object and then tell you how to recycle the object according to the recycling rules in your area.

How we built it: We used a Html/css with javascript to take a picture using the webcam, then using a fastapi backend we used openai vision to classify the image, then we cross checked the material of the object with local recycling data with the live location api called geoapify.

Challenges we ran into: The openai model was having a hard time accepting the form of image we were receiving from the webcam.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: We are most proud of the image recognition.

What we learned: We learned a lot about web development and integrating public apis into our projects.

What's next for Recycle-me: We would like to train our own image classifier model and eventually deploy the app for mobile.
