Mobile app for waste management and recycling

Exponential increase economic growth in Singapore caused a large increase in waste output. Incinerators and landfill sites have reached the maximum capacity and there is a need to build new ones which puts a strain on Singapore’s small land resources. [1] Plastic waste rapidly increases as the econo...
