 AIM & OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
(Problem Statement)

AIM

The app aims to reduce environmental impact by promoting efficient waste segregation,
recycling, and disposal. It connects users with local services, offers AI-driven waste sorting, and
provides rewards for eco-friendly behavior, encouraging responsible waste habits.

OBJECTIVES

● Promote Waste Segregation – Encourage users to separate recyclables, compostables,

and non-recyclables efficiently.

● Enhance Recycling Accessibility – Connect users with nearby recycling centers, waste
collection points, and upcycling opportunities.

 AIM & OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
(Problem Statement)

● Reduce Landfill Waste – Minimize waste sent to landfills through waste tracking,
reduction tips, and responsible disposal options.

● Incentivize Sustainable Behavior – Implement reward systems, gamification, and eco-

points for responsible waste management actions.

● Educate & Raise Awareness – Provide educational resources, guides, and real-time
insights on waste reduction and environmental impact.

● Leverage Technology for Efficiency – Use AI, IoT, and data analytics for smart waste
sorting, pickup scheduling, and optimized waste processing.

 DESIGN(S) (HARDWARE / SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE)

SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE:

● Frontend Architecture: Built with React.js, featuring components for waste reporting, scheduling, and
analytics. React Router handles navigation, with Redux or Context for state management.

● Backend Architecture: Developed with Node.js and Express.js, handling API routes, user authentication,
and machine learning integration. JWT or OAuth ensures secure user access.

● Database Architecture: MongoDB stores user data, waste schedules, and logs in collections for scalable,
efficient querying. Designed for quick data access and growth.

● Integration & AI Architecture: Machine learning models for waste classification, using TensorFlow.js for in-
browser AI. Geolocation services optimize routing, with cloud hosting via AWS or Heroku.
