2021: Application Development

On October 25, 2021, Perm Politech announced that its developers were creating an application for "smart" sorting of waste.

As of October 2021, 4 to 20% of municipal solid waste is processed in Russia, and the area of ​ ​ landfills is about 4 million hectors. The application will help users correctly sort waste, present information about eco-stores in the region and volunteer organizations, and also show garbage reception points.

With the development of technological progress, the state of the environment began to deteriorate. In particular, waste has a negative impact on the health of people and animals, as well as on the state of the plant world. But not only corporations, but also ordinary citizens can contribute to waste recycling. In our opinion, in order to change the situation, it is necessary to popularize a conscious attitude towards ecology using eco-applications. They will allow people to get all the necessary knowledge about the importance of recycling garbage and the possibilities of its conscious disposal, "said Maria Lopina, one of the authors of the development, a 3rd year student at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics of Perm Polytechnic.

According to researchers, it is necessary to promote companies that are engaged in waste processing, and applications that allow you to find out about this. As of October 2021, there are national and federal projects and programs aimed at protecting the environment, but it is also important to form people's environmentally responsible behavior and active environmental position, the developers say.

The application, which is created by Perm students, will contain three sections: waste sorting, eco-volunteering and specialized stores. According to the developers, there are no information resources combining all three topics. In the application, users will find current environmental news, ecogyds and garbage reception points in the region. The ecogyde will contain sorting information, data visualization and the waste scanning function.

In the "Volunteering" section, people will be able to find news about eco-events in the region, information about scientific developments and social videos that are aimed at promoting environmentally responsible behavior. For example, the application will help to find out where volunteers are needed to plant a forest destroyed by a fire.

We are creating an application based on data from the Perm Territory, since in our region it is still difficult to find eco-applications with information about local organizations. In the future, the development can be supplemented with data from all over Russia, the developer explained.
