With recycling rules varying by municipality and materials that are challenging to sort properly, people frequently struggle to dispose of waste the right way, which is why ECGO was developed. Made to take the guesswork out of the process, this campus-friendly mobile app detects recyclability and compostability, enabling users to take a photo, get the AI-recommended local disposal guidelines, and gain rewards for their efforts.

This gamified recycling app for iOS and Android rewards users with gift cards from popular brands like Amazon, Uber, Publix, and more. All the while, users can compete to climb the leaderboard.

On the other end, universities benefit from an admin portal that tracks waste goal progress and shows real-time insights on what products and materials people recycle.
