Replasc

Replasc (Reduce Plastic) is a capstone project that combines mobile development with machine learning to tackle the plastic pollution crisis. The app allows users to scan plastic items using their phone camera, instantly classifying the plastic type and providing guidance on proper disposal.

Beyond classification, Replasc tracks a user's recycling activity and shows the cumulative CO₂ emissions saved — turning individual actions into visible environmental impact. The ML model was trained on a custom dataset of plastic waste images, achieving solid accuracy across the seven standard plastic resin codes.
