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 Traditional waste management systems often suffer from inefficiencies due to outdated infrastructure, inadequate waste segregation, and limited public en gagement.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.
