EcoScan uses AI to identify and value recyclable waste, letting users sell it and enabling eco-friendly waste collection
EcoScan is an innovative AI-powered waste recycling platform designed to promote sustainability by simplifying the recycling process for users. It allows individuals to gather recyclable waste, take a picture, and upload it to the platform. Using advanced image recognition, EcoScan’s AI model analyzes the uploaded image to identify and segment different recyclable materials such as paper, plastic, and metal. Based on current market rates, the system estimates the value of the waste and provides a dynamic price for each recyclable item.
Users can then choose to sell their waste directly through the platform. Upon confirming the sale, a local waste collector is notified, and the collector picks up the waste from the user’s location. The waste is sent to a recycling facility, where it is processed, and the transaction profits are distributed among the user, the collector, and the platform. EcoScan ensures fair revenue distribution, dynamically adjusting the share for each party based on the type of material and other market conditions. The platform itself takes a small commission for facilitating the transaction.
EcoScan stands out for its real-time waste valuation, seamless connection between users and collectors, and a flexible pricing model that adapts to market trends, making it a unique solution for promoting eco-friendly behavior while also offering financial incentives to users.
