# EcoIdentify by EcoClimSolutions

## Overview

EcoIdentify is an environmental project developed by EcoClimSolutions to help identify and classify waste materials using artificial intelligence. This web application leverages machine learning models to categorize waste into various classes, such as cardboard, glass, metal, paper, plastic, and trash.

## Features

- **Waste Classification:** Upload an image of waste, and EcoIdentify will predict its category using a pre-trained machine learning model.
  
- **User-Friendly Interface:** The web application provides a simple and intuitive interface, making it easy for users to upload images and receive instant predictions.

- **Educational Resources:** Explore information about waste categories and learn more about recycling and responsible waste disposal.

## Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/ecoclimsolutions/EcoIdentify.git
   cd EcoIdentify
   ```

2. Install dependencies:

   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. Run the application:

   ```bash
   streamlit run app.py
   ```

4. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8501` to use EcoIdentify.

## Usage

1. Select the image upload option: "Upload image from device" or "Upload image via link."
2. Upload an image or provide an image link.
3. Click the "Predict" button to classify the waste.
4. View the predicted waste category and additional information.
5. The dataset used in this model has images with white background.  Try to use model with images with white background for maximum accuracy.
