Recycling Co & Co

The app recycling material in your neighbor hood, with an emphasis on reusability

Comment

Inspiration

Statistics from epa.gov, the recycling rate (including composting) was 32.1 percent in 2018, down from 34.7 percent in 2015 --> We want to foster the recycling rate by enabling people to connect and share how they help re-use sustainable material.

What it does

Recycling Co & Co is an app recycling material in your neighborhood, it helps connect people who have unused sustainable material and who need recycled material so that we can foster the recycling rate and help the Earth.

How we built it

We build this app using React Native with Google Cloud API such as Directions or Google Maps so that we can interact with the maps and find the correct location. Our presentation is created by Figma.

Challenges we ran into

This is the first time ever we use the Google Cloud product which is not firebase so this makes us hard time to understand and integrate it with React Native to have the full product.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that the app is able to search anywhere in the world and use it as the original location to help us finds the recyclers nearby

What we learned

We learn how to use the Google Cloud API and the use of the credential key in Google Cloud

What's next for Recycling Co & Co

We will try to integrate the UI/UX with the backend first, and then make the database of authentication for users to logging in and signing up to start recycling
