Abstract:
Waste management is becoming a global concern, with inappropriate disposal
methods having a devastating effect on the ecosystem. Recyglow appears as a
smartphone application that uses gamification to overcome this obstacle. Recyglow
wants to completely change the way people think about recycling by making waste
management an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
Recyglow's key product is an intuitive platform that helps consumers properly
sort and classify trash related to skin care. People are empowered to make
knowledgeable decisions about how they dispose of their waste because of this
instructional component. Recyglow adds gamification components with ease, building
on this base. With the ability to track their recycling efforts, users may keep track of
their progress over time and feel a feeling of success. Recyglow uses a point system to
further encourage ethical recycling. Users are encouraged to actively participate and
contribute to a cleaner environment by earning points for each recycling action they
complete. By allowing users to exchange their accrued points for tangible prizes, the
positive reinforcement loop is strengthened and user engagement is raised.
Recyglow has an impact on communities on a larger scale by encouraging a
culture of gamified recycling among its users. Through the process of gamification,
Recyglow hopes to accomplish a number of beneficial goals. It is critical that the
public understand more about waste management procedures. The software functions
as a teaching tool, giving users the information they need to dispose of waste
responsibly. Recyglow also fosters a sense of community around ethical recycling,
motivating people to take part in a group effort to promote environmental
iii
sustainability. In the end, Recyglow wants to lower the total amount of waste
produced by encouraging appropriate disposal methods and giving people the tools
they need to actively influence the environment.
This final project explores the conception and creation of Recyglow, closely
analyzing its features, gamification components, and the potential revolution in skin
care waste management that it may bring about. Recyglow wants to inspire people
and communities to build a more sustainable future for the earth by utilizing
gamification and encouraging ethical recycling practices.
