(WAS)TE MOBILE APP
A composting app helping people have
a smaller carbon footprint.
A concept/passion project, (Was)te pronounced “was waste” is a native service app, that lets consumers take another look at the food they are throwing out and how it can be repurposed into something useful, through composting.
The Problem
According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency, organic materials like food are the single largest category of material placed in municipal landfills, where they emit methane, a powerful and harmful greenhouse gas. Municipal solid waste landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States, accounting for approximately more than 14 percent of
these emissions.
The Goal
Identify innovative solutions that allow consumers to recycle food waste efficiently and conveniently at home or elsewhere to eliminate food waste ending up in a landfill.
