Using some clever coding, Google’s Cloud Vision API and a simple QR code, we were able to detect the differences between different types of empty bottles (Absolut, glass and plastic) and unwanted drinks ingredients. This allowed us to provide a series of clever upcycling hacks, instantly within the users mobile browser.

From Lime Stuice to Bokashi composting, data sets could simply be added to allow markets to provide inspiration for a wider selection of unwanted objects and partner with various local upcyclers over time.
