RecycleAid is a web app where one can scan an image to look for recyclable material and the way to recycle them. The app also shows images of different creative ways one can repurpose the recyclable material!
A lot of people around the world do not know how to recycle properly, and that is causing big issues with waste. This app can teach and help those who don't know how to recycle, and it can help reduce waste.
When so much of the world isn't recycling properly, there is a big impact on land, water, and air to a large extent, by either causing pollution or harming aquatic/terrestrial life.
Our app promotes the conservation of the environment by teaching people how they can recycle different kinds of waste and materials which will help contribute to the SDGs.
The web app is built using anvil- which allows one to create python only web apps easily, without needing to format or do as much coding on the fronted part.
It is a valuable tool we found during our research on the best way we could connect our AI model, trained in Jupyter Notebook using python, with our web app.
Anvil provides a really easy way to do so. We've used HTML and CSS to design the website, embedding the anvil app in the site, and then we used Github pages to host the website.
We used a garbage classification data-set from Kaggle to train our model, and using PyTorch we were able to create the image classification.
