Descripción

Plastrack ( Mobile app link ) PPT is a gamified platform designed to tackle India's plastic waste and infrastructure crisis by incentivizing citizens to report trash via a user-friendly app. The solution leverages AI to create real-time heatmaps of waste hotspots, optimize collection routes for municipalities (ULBs), and recommend high-value recycling options. Key features include:

  • Smart Reporting: Users upload trash photos, which AI analyzes to classify waste and generate reports.

  • Incentives: Earn tokens for reports, redeemable for discounts, recycled products, or tree-planting initiatives.

  • Hotspot Tracking: Color-coded maps pressure ULBs to prioritize cleanup, with automated truck dispatch for severe areas.

  • Gamification: Leaderboards and points motivate community participation.

  • Future Goals: Predictive analytics, multilingual support, and NGO partnerships for tree planting.

USP: Empowers citizens to drive clean-up efforts in seconds, bridging gaps between waste pickers, recyclers, and ULBs to transform plastic into sustainable infrastructure.

Tech: AI-driven image analysis, dynamic routing, and a token-based reward system.

Vision: A cleaner India with efficient waste-to-value chains and heightened civic engagement.

Progreso del hackathon

Key Achievements: Developed an AI-powered waste intelligence system using Google Cloud Vision and Gemini AI, achieving >85% accuracy in classifying waste materials and auto-suggesting optimal disposal/recycling methods. Implemented dynamic hotspot mapping via Google Maps API to visualize and prioritize trash clusters (Red/Amber/Green) with real-time municipal alerts for high-density zones. Built a gamified community engagement platform featuring a token rewards system (Firebase Auth + Cloudinary) for user reports, along with a Flutter mobile app incorporating leaderboards and NGO tree-planting goals. Established stakeholder integration by connecting waste generators with recyclers through a Prisma ORM-managed PostgreSQL database.
