Turn everyday waste into useful information for a cleaner environment. Blob helps you identify waste using on-device machine learning, explore reported waste on an interactive map, and contribute observations that help reveal local pollution patterns. **SCAN WASTE** Use your iPhone camera to scan waste around you. Blob analyzes images and identifies waste types, helping you understand what you have found. **AI POWERED RECOGNITION** Blob uses machine learning directly on your iPhone to recognize waste without relying entirely on remote AI services. Your device analyzes images, making waste identification accessible wherever you are. **EXPLORE THE MAP** Explore reported waste on an interactive map. See where litter has been reported and discover local patterns that may need more attention. **EVERY OBSERVATION COUNTS** Scan waste and contribute to Blob's growing environmental dataset. Every contribution helps build a clearer picture of waste in your community. **UNDERSTAND LOCAL POLLUTION** Explore the types of waste identified and the locations where observations have been recorded. This information can help communities recognize local pollution patterns and identify areas for future cleanup efforts. **STARTING IN ROMANIA, LOOKING TOWARD THE WORLD** Blob starts in Romania, with a vision of expanding internationally. The project aims to make waste identification and environmental monitoring accessible to communities around the world. **HOW IT WORKS** 1. Open Blob. 2. Point your iPhone camera at waste. 3. Scan the object. 4. Let Blob analyze and identify it. 5. Contribute your observation. 6. Explore reported waste on the map. **SUPPORTED BY ING BANK** Blob was developed with financial support from ING Bank through the Robotics and Programming Scholarship Fund, a program that supports young people developing projects in programming, robotics, and technology. **FROM EVERYDAY OBSERVATIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION** A single piece of litter may seem insignificant, but many observations can reveal patterns that would otherwise be difficult to identify. Blob brings together machine learning, community observations, and environmental awareness to help people document waste and better understand pollution in the places where they live. We start in Romania. Together, we are building a cleaner future.
