WasteProof

Photograph an item, get one answer on how to dispose of it.

The problem

Disposal rules change by council, by material and by product. People guess, and guessing contaminates recycling streams.

What we built

A camera-first web app. No account. Image classification plus a barcode path and a text fallback, resolved against local authority rules.

Where it is now

Public prototype in test. Nappies, wipes, vapes and mixed packaging are the first categories.
