Abstract:This paper presents Geneco, an artificial intelligence-driven waste management platform that leverages Google’s Gemini API to automate waste classification, optimize collection routes, and promote sustainable practices through gamification. The system addresses key challenges in modern waste management by connecting individuals, collection authorities, and industrial entities in a collaborative approach. We detail the system architecture, implementation of AI-powered waste categorization, gamification mechanics, and theoretical design for waste management efficiency. Our analysis suggests that AI-powered classification combined with behavioral incentives has significant potential to improve waste sorting accuracy and collection efficiency while increasing community participation in sustainable practices.
