AI-powered waste identification, SMS guidance for feature phones, offline intelligence, and eco-routing — built for Nigeria, designed for the world.
One platform — three access modes — zero excuses for improper waste disposal.
Upload or take a photo of any waste item. Our AI classifies it instantly — from plastic bottles to sachet water nylon — and gives disposal instructions.
Online + OfflineNo smartphone? No problem. Text "plastic bottle" or "nylon" to our gateway and receive localized disposal guidance on any feature phone.
Any Phone · Any NetworkFind the lowest-carbon path to your nearest recycler using real Nigerian transport options — keke napep, okada, danfo, or walking.
CO₂ + Cost OptimizedTrained on real Nigerian waste types: sachet water nylon, pure water sachets, informal metal scrap (okada parts), and more. Localization judges love.
Nigeria-FirstTensorFlow Lite model runs directly in the browser — no internet required. Critical for rural areas with low connectivity across Africa.
TensorFlow LiteEvery scan earns points. Gamified community leaderboards drive behavior change — turning sustainability into a community sport.
Behavior Change"EcoSnap AI works online, offline, and even via SMS — making sustainable waste management accessible to everyone, not just smartphone users."EcoSnap Global · 1-Minute Pitch
This project intentionally targets multiple judging dimensions simultaneously.
Closes the loop from identification → disposal → transport → recycler. Real circular economy in action.
Points, streaks, and leaderboards drive repeated engagement. Education is embedded in every interaction.
SMS mode means a ₦5,000 feature phone user gets the same environmental guidance as a smartphone user.
