Every day, the average Indian household throws away 500 grams of waste. Most of it ends up in a landfill — not because people don't care, but because nobody told them which bin it goes in. We built SmartSort to fix that — and we did it in 24 hours SmartSort is an AI-powered waste sorting assistant. You pick up an item, you scan it, and within seconds — you know exactly what it is, which category it falls under, and step-by-step how to dispose of it responsibly. SmartSort has four core features that work together:
One — AI-powered item scanner. Point your camera, get instant classification and disposal instructions tailored to your city's rules.
Two — The Rulebook. A searchable, city-specific guide to waste disposal — dry, wet, e-waste, hazardous — all in one place, always updated.
Three — Gamification. Every correct scan earns you points, streaks, and badges. Because behavior change needs a reward loop.
Four — The Sustainability Marketplace. Scan an item you don't need? Instead of throwing it away, list it for sale or donation directly inside the app. Someone else's trash becomes someone else's treasure — and one less item in a landfill. Every other recycling app tells you what to do. SmartSort tells you what to do, rewards you for doing it, and gives you an alternative to throwing it away at all. We're not just sorting waste — we're changing the relationship people have with the things they own
