ACCENTURETECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE

1 The topic of the application


Waste Management & Recycle Solution

You will need to develop a solution that aims to reduce waste and help people
understand how to manage waste and recycle, but also clean areas that have garbage
to avoid landfill buildup. The apps target is especially made from students and people
that spend their time in universities campuses. The solution will be primary developed
for student most visited areas (Politehnica University, University of Bucharest and
University of Economical Studies + their campuses) but afterwards it should be used
by all people living in Bucharest and surroundings.

The topic can be extended as much as possible; the boundaries are set only by your

as many ideas you can.
