A Real-time Trash Detection Web App
1 in 4 items thrown in recycling bins isn’t recyclable, and this contamination costs the US recycling industry up to $500 million annually. I wanted to help solve this issue using Machine Learning to help the recycling industry.
So along with my team, I made an Object Detection app with Tensorflow.js and React.js that I used to win 1st place at an MLH hackathon, Dragonhacks 2023. Our web app allows users to scan items with whatever device they're using, to give users real-time data on whether an item is recyclable or not, to ensure they are able to dispose of their item properly
