Inspiration

We produce hundreds of millions of pounds of waste each year and we wanted to cut down that number by filter what could be recycled, composted, and whats got to be taken care of with special care.

What it does

Recyclable takes an image of an item from the camera on the device you're using and recognizes certain shapes to determine what the object is. From there we can determine what its proper disposal method is.

How we built it

We built a webpage with HTML and CSS and sent our data through the Google CV cloud to recognize images.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into problems with the Google CV cloud and responding back with information we needed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to have been able to find a method to determine the disposal method of items since it is pretty difficult to identify certain objects with a certain accuracy.
