Carrboncy

What it does

Carrboncy is an innovative app designed to help users reduce their carbon footprint by repurposing waste items into useful products. Utilizing the Gemini API, the app analyzes groups of waste items, provides creative ideas, and generates detailed instructions for transforming them into new products. Additionally, Gemini calculates the carbon footprint that would have been generated if the user had purchased the equivalent factory-made product, highlighting the environmental benefits of repurposing.As an added incentive, the carbon footprint saved is rewarded as a currency called "Carrboncy" - (Carbon Currency) which is awarded to users after a successful repurposing activity. This system encourages users to continue repurposing waste into something new, further reducing the overall carbon footprint of their surroundings. If more people use this app, it has the potential to significantly lower the collective carbon footprint, making a substantial environmental impact.The Gemini API also plays a crucial role in verifying the repurposed product. It checks whether the created item adheres to the provided instructions and confirms that it contains the specified repurposed materials. By combining creativity, environmental awareness, and technology, "Carrboncy" empowers users to make a positive impact on the planet by turning waste into something valuable while reducing their overall carbon footprint. The Carrboncy can be redeemed for various coupons and offers in the app.
