Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para el proyecto ReciVeci de Quito

Abstract

Nowadays, environmental pollution is causing a serious impact on the environment, being one of the main causes, excessive production of waste, which is generated after daily consumption of food and lack of awareness by society. In Quito, around 1800 tons of garbage are generated, daily which are accumulated in sanitary landfills without their due separation process. The process of separation of solid waste at the source is carried out by a group of people who are commonly called grassroots recyclers, who are often discriminated against for their work. Therefore, the RECIVECI project arises, whose objective is to fight for the recognition of grassroots recyclers and at the same time foster the culture of recycling in the Quito society. To achieve this, it is proposed to create a mobile application that sends information and helps the location of the base recyclers closest to their place of residence and thus motivate them to recycle in a more comfortable way.
