Are you confused about the nuances of recycling? Does the greasy pizza box gets recycled or trashed? Do you ever wonder where the soiled paper napkins will go? These are some questions that cross my mind every day as I tried to sort out the household trash. After talking to a lot of people, I realized I wasnʼt the only one who got confused while sorting trash. Therefore, I decided to use my communication design skills and develop an app – Trashed.
Trashed aims at educating people about the right way to segregate and dispose of their trash. The app uses Google Vision & Amazon Rekognition to detect objects and classify them into different categories to assess their right way of disposal.
