SFU Disposal bins
What it does
Waste sorting automation
How we built it
We built it using Python Flask for the backend, using the OpenAI API, which is where images are sent, and the frontend was made using just pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Challenges we ran into
One of the challenges we ran into was trying to set up the OpenAI API, since it required payment and only for a limited amount of credits
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were so happy when we managed to get the API working such that the client could upload an image and receive the feedback it sent back
What we learned
We learned how to use the OpenAI API
What's next for EcoSort
Add more functionalities like more options, where to dispose of other objects like furniture, electronics, etc.
