Inspiration
Improper waste disposal practices are leading to detrimental environmental impacts. Most people don't intentionally make these choices, though> They often just don't know the correct way to dispose of things or what is allowed to be recycled. WasteWise was created to help make the decisions easier, leading to increased sustainability.
What it does
It is essentially an AI assistant for proper waste disposal which will help people determine how they should properly dispose of certain items and every day items.
How we built it
It was built through HTML/CSS and JavaScript allowing for the interface/layout and the interactive aspects.
Challenges we ran into
A challenge was ensuring that the information returned by the assistant would be consistent and reliable. To maintain this, it needed to have a certain layout and formatting. It was also a bit of a challenge to get all the information for the possible items.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm proud of how this can lead to true impact by creating a cleaner world for us. It uses a very interesting technological view to make large impacts while also providing true insights rather than just instructions.
What we learned
I learned the importance of a well developed and clear UI/UX design, especially for complex topics. I also had to learn a lot about how AI APIs can be embedded/integrated into our real-world applications.
What's next for WasteWise
The next steps for WasteWise would be trying to see how we can expand it to be more efficient and have more features. It would be great to create a phone/mobile app version as well as adding a camera feature.
