Junker – Mobile Applications

Junker is a mobile application for smartphones that helps citizens correctly and quickly separate household waste, contributing to reducing the unsorted waste fraction. By scanning the barcodes printed on packaging or typing the type of waste, Junker identifies the product, breaks it down into its constituent materials, and allows:

• sorting waste easily based on the recycling collection adopted in their municipality
• reducing the margin of error and the exposure to fines and penalties
• receiving accurate and timely information on sorting methods
• requesting feedback on how to dispose of the most difficult to identify or less common products

Junker reads recycling symbols through the smartphone camera and provides the bin in which to dispose of the material.
