Potential use cases
- Recycle Matchmaker: A mobile app that connects people with unwanted items to people who need those items. Users can post a photo and description of what they have to give away, and the app will suggest potential recipients based on their location and preferences. The app uses the Trash Nothing API to search and browse items, and to match users with each other.
- Zero-Waste Living Assistant: A chatbot that helps people adopt a zero-waste lifestyle by providing tips, advice, and recommendations. Users can ask the chatbot questions such as 'What can I do with my plastic bags?' or 'Where can I find bulk stores near me?' The chatbot uses the Trash Nothing API to search for relevant information and resources, and to connect users with local events and communities.
