EcoScan app

What it does

EcoScan is an innovative recycling app that transforms the way users interact with waste. By it's advanced photo and barcode recognition technology, EcoScan instantly identifies items and provides accurate recycling instructions based on users location. This user-friendly approach simplifies the recycling process and make it easy for everyone to contribute to environmental sustainability.

Beyond recycling, EcoScan encourages positive environmental actions through features like the Litter Bingo, where users play a game by taking a picture of litter and competing to complete bingo cards. Users earn EcoCoins as rewards, which can be redeemed for sustainable products or donated to charities, which further promote the circular economy.

To enhance the app's accuracy and reach, we have integrated the Gemini API. The Gemini API significantly improves EcoScan’s ability to provide localized recycling information in countries which are unknown to the app. When users scan an item, and the app doesn't have the specific information for that location, Gemini API steps in to deliver the correct recycling guidelines tailored to local regulations. This ensures that users across the globe can confidently recycle correctly, regardless of where they are.

Incorporating the Gemini API has empowered EcoScan to provide a smarter, more comprehensive recycling solution that adapts to local needs, driving global sustainability efforts.
