EcoTech
Innovators AI-Powered Waste Classification Tool
Proposed Solution:
A user-friendly application that uses image recognition to classify waste materials into
recyclable, non-recyclable, compostable, and hazardous categories. This tool leverages AI to
promote sustainable waste management practices.

Detailed Explanation: The tool uses a pre-trained AI model to identify the category of waste
materials from uploaded images. It provides real-time feedback and suggestions for proper
disposal, aiming to reduce landfill waste and improve recycling efficiency.

How it Addresses the Problem: It simplifies the waste sorting process by using technology,
making it easier for users to identify and sort waste correctly. This reduces waste contamination
and improves recycling rates.

Innovation and Uniqueness: The tool combines advanced AI models with an intuitive user
interface. It stands out for its focus on real-world impact, addressing the gap in effective waste
sorting technologies.

TECHNICAL APPROACH
Technologies Used:
● Python (for overall development)
● Django (for building the web-based platform)
● TensorFlow (for pre-trained models and classification)
● OpenCV (for image processing)
● HTML/CSS/JavaScript (for frontend design and interactivity)

Methodology and Process:


The application will be built using Django, where users can upload images of waste
materials. The Django backend will handle image uploads and interface with a pre-trained
TensorFlow model to classify the images. The OpenCV library will be used to process the
images, ensuring better classification accuracy. The frontend, built with HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript, will present the results to the users in an easy-to-understand format.
