Eco Lens is an AI-powered mobile app that helps users identify different types of plastic using their phone camera and understand whether they are recyclable. It provides instant feedback, educational insights, and tracks the environmental impact of responsible disposal. By combining AI, gamification, and sustainability education, Eco Lens encourages better recycling habits and reduced plastic waste.

​App is live, but it needed a home. Just published the landing page for Eco Lens.

​Our pilot test in local schools has been insane so far: 200 users have already scanned over 10,000 images. Seeing a 40% drop in bin contamination in real-time is the best motivation I could ask for. Now I’m just focusing on scaling this thing to more communities.

Huge milestone today: Eco Lens is officially on the Play Store! 🚀

​Spent the last few weeks cleaning up the UI and fixing some annoying bugs. I also refined the 3-bin logic (Green/Red/Yellow) to make the instructions as simple as possible. It’s a bit scary to have it out there, but I’m ready for people to start breaking things.

Started building Eco Lens because I’m tired of seeing everyone “wish-cycling” at school.

​The Stack:
​Frontend: React Native + Expo (making the camera view feel fast).
​Backend: Firebase for the data + Cloudinary for the image optimization.

​The core scanner is live, but the UI is still super rough. Next up: building out the impact tracker so people can actually see the CO2 they’re saving.
