Ecosorter

The Ecosorter App, crafted with React Native for cross-platform compatibility, revolutionizes waste management. Utilizing a custom-built TensorFlow model trained on 25,000 images, it accurately categorizes waste into eight distinct types: paper, tech, baggy, plastic, metal cans, leaf, food, and wood. The app boasts a visually stunning UI, featuring fluid animations and supporting both light and dark themes. Providing comprehensive information, including facts, charts, videos, and photos, it educates users about each waste category. With Firebase authentication seamlessly integrated, the app ensures secure user access, complemented by push notification support. To stimulate engagement, Ecosorter implements a competitive edge through a leaderboard and scoring system. Real-time score updates are facilitated by Cloud Firestore, enhancing the interactive and dynamic user experience. The app also offers a choice between light and dark modes for personalized visual preferences. Leveraging the power of Cloud Firestore, Ecosorter exemplifies a forward-looking waste management solution that not only enhances user awareness but also delivers a rich and engaging experience.
