Inspiration
Recyclo is inspired by the need for an innovative solution to address the global problem of waste management. With the increasing amount of waste generated daily, it is important to encourage individuals to adopt sustainable waste management practices. Recyclo is a step towards a greener future, and we hope to inspire individuals to take small steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
What it does
Recyclo aims to provide a user-friendly platform that not only promotes recycling but also rewards users for their efforts towards a cleaner and healthier environment. The app only integrates the software technology (but we look forward to implementing the hardware in the future) to enhance waste management processes and help users locate nearby recycling bins.
How we built it
While building Recyclo, we followed a comprehensive development process that involved several stages. We started by identifying the key features of the app and creating a detailed plan for its development. Next, we designed the user interface and experience (using Figma) and created the information architecture for the app (using Figjam) to ensure that it is intuitive and user-friendly.
We then selected the appropriate technologies for each feature, such as: – Dart for the frontend and mobile app development – Flask for the backend development, RESTFUL API creation, with the GPS integration.
In conclusion, building Recyclo required a combination of creative and technical expertise, as well as a commitment to creating a sustainable future. The app was developed using modern technologies.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
What's next for Recyclo
To create the physical recycling bin for users to dispose of their waste as a hardware component of the application, and integrate a recognition algorithm to confirm that the user has properly deposited their waste. Additionally, the goal is to enhance the Recyclo RESTful API.
