        abstract = {EcoCycle is a mobile application developed to enhance the recycling logistics process particularly in developing countries where the recycling management systems are very challenging. Households intending to recycle items are linked to logistics services that will collect the materials from the households and supply them to the treatment facilities hence promoting economic development and environmental sustainability. Households upload images and mark the locations from where the Logistics Handlers can collect the items, including materials such as plastics, glass, and paper. Logistic Handlers are notified in real time, through the mobile application, and they use route mapping to minimize distances, optimize carbon footprints, and reduce costs, while collecting the items. Households earn in cash, or virtual coins, that can be redeemed at food or other outlets. The recycling firms in turn pay the Logistics Handlers for their services.
The application incorporates modern tools such as Flutter for the front end [3], while the back end is constructed with C#, .Net 8.0, ASP.Net MVC Web API [5], Google Maps [2] and MySQL. Among the features are security using Flutter JWT authentication [4], item cataloging, intelligent routing. This paper explores EcoCycle’s potential for enhancing recycling efficiency, promoting sustainability, and supporting recycling management systems in areas with limited recycling infrastructure.},
