OPTIMIZING SKIN CARE WASTE MANAGEMENT THROUGH GAMIFICATION: A MOBILE APPLICATION FOR RECOGNITION, COLLECTION AND RECYCLING

Abstract

Recyglow emerges as a smartphone app addressing the pressing global concern of waste management. By integrating gamification, it aims to transform recycling into an engaging and fulfilling activity. The app's primary focus lies in helping users correctly sort and dispose of skincare-related waste, empowering them with knowledge about responsible waste management. Through gamified elements, such as tracking progress and earning points for recycling actions, Recyglow incentivizes ethical recycling practices. Users can exchange these points for tangible rewards, reinforcing positive behavior and increasing engagement. On a broader scale, Recyglow seeks to cultivate a culture of gamified recycling within communities. By serving as an educational tool, it informs users about waste management procedures and fosters a sense of communal responsibility towards environmental sustainability. Ultimately, Recyglow aims to reduce overall waste production by promoting appropriate disposal methods and empowering individuals to actively contribute to a cleaner environment. This project delves into Recyglow's inception, examining its features, gamification elements, and the potential impact on skincare waste management. Through its innovative approach, Recyglow aspires to inspire individuals and communities to adopt sustainable habits for a brighter future.
