2 iphone screens with compostr app

Overview

During a sustainability design challenge, I spearheaded an app idea that won first place in a hackathon. The app encourages compost drop-offs through a redeemable reward system with collectable coins and ranked badges.

‍

Numerous urban cities lack compost bins, leading individuals to dispose their food scraps in the trash.

‍

Research

Why compost?

About 50% garbage is compostable and a third of produce goes to waste around the globe. By resourcing wasted food and other organics, about 50% methane emissions can be reduced to mitigate climate crisis.

Problem

River has trouble finding compost locations and motivation to drop off compost
‍

How might we create an app that motivates people to compost?

‍

Proposal

Design a system where points are earned based on visits and contribution size. Accumulated points lead to credits, collectable ranked badges, and potential redemption at local farmers markets or coffee shops.

  • Create an accessible map
  • Design a reward system
