The problem RECYCLE IT solves

Despite its near-constant presence in the news, it seems information regarding recycling is still lacking. A whopping one in 10 Brits admit that they aren’t sure if plastic can be recycled; 70 percent were generally unsure what could or couldn’t be recycled.
Also, many people do not have time to find recycling stations for recycling their waste. Reducing waste, recycling and composting are effective ways to decrease the generation of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane. They achieve these benefits in two ways:

by helping save energy in the processing of materials for industrial and consumer use, and
by reducing the flow of materials -- especially food and other organic wastes -- into landfills where anaerobic decomposition produces methane.

So, therefore, we came up with a brilliant solution, where the common people can easily identify whether the product is recyclable or not and if it is then our app will help the user to find the nearby recycling stations or request for an appointment for the pickup of their recyclable waste.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating our Image datasets with our app using open-source TensorFlow libraries was really tough.

Processing of the image taken from the user and applying machine learning model to it was also a step full of bugs that we overcame with.

Navigation of the Image File Data from one page to another was an area were we wasted a whole lot of time.

Implementing the Animated Floating Action Button was a process full of bugs. Making a small mistake was ruing the whole animation if the button.
