The "Recycling Sorter" app is designed to help you sort your recycling correctly and prevent recycling contamination. Recycling contamination, which occurs when waste is placed with the wrong category (i.e. landfill trash with paper recycling), causes lots of otherwise recyclable waste to go to the landfill, wasting money and resources and damaging the environment in the process. This AI-based app can help you recycle right. All you need to do is place your waste under your device's camera, press the "CLICK ME!" button, and then the app's AI model will tell you where to place your waste. Please Note: As recycling rules differ from city to city, you must select your city in the Settings screen before you begin sorting waste and recycling right. Recycling Sorter is conceptualized, developed and maintained by Sanatan Mishra. Privacy Policy: https://privacy.esanta.tech/recyclingsorterios.html
