Waste is a real problem and is created from human activities, from various places and countries from all over the world, one example is packaging for cosmetics, food, beverages and others, this packaging is generally made of plastic, paper, iron, and glass. Human behavior that is not disciplined in disposing of waste is one of the causes of environmental damage, such as floods, sources of disease, extinction of animals, climate change, and other disasters.
Reducing disasters caused by waste requires sustainable waste management, the application can be started from the beginning, when people throw garbage into the trash, by separating waste according to its type, the waste management process becomes easier. therefore a Waste Identification and Notification System is needed, which can help humans know where waste should be disposed of.
By applying machine learning technology, the system is able to recognize the type of waste to be disposed of and remind humans to dispose of garbage according to a predetermined place.
Other benefits of the Waste Identification project and notification system are:
1. Develop awareness of waste management
2. Teach children to throw away waste according to its kind
3. Facilitate the recycling process of waste
4. Protect the environment and prevent damage to the earth caused by garbage
