Abstract:The increasing rate of global waste pro
duction demands innovative approaches to enhance
recycling efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Traditional waste management systems often suffer
from inefficiencies due to outdated infrastructure,
inadequate waste segregation, and limited public en
gagement. As urbanization accelerates, there is an
urgent need to integrate technology-driven solutions
to optimize waste tracking, recycling coordination,
and sustainability awareness. This paper introduces
Recycly Connect, a web-based platform that aims
to bridge the gap between recyclers, donors, and
NGOs, providing a structured and transparent system
for waste management. The platform integrates a
digital marketplace for recyclables, a donation hub,
DIY sustainability resources, and an AI-powered
chatbot to enhance waste disposal efficiency. Future
enhancements include IoT-based smart waste tracking
to optimize collection processes and improve user
participation. By leveraging digitalization, Recycly
Connect contributes to reducing landfill waste, pro
moting circular economy principles, and fostering an
environmentally responsible community.
