MISSION & ARCHITECTURE

Closing the loop on institutional waste.

"Turn every waste incident into a verified environmental improvement."

The Operational Premise

Colleges, corporate campuses, and residential municipalities produce thousands of tons of recyclable and compostable waste every month. Yet over 60% of recyclable volume is lost to landfill diversion due to lack of immediate reporting, cross-contamination, and sluggish custodial dispatch.

GreenLoop AI creates a continuous closed loop:

1. Report it — Geotagged community reporting with photo evidence

2. Understand it — Server-side Gemini AI multi-modal material triage

3. Resolve it — Dynamic field task assignment & routing

4. Prove it — Dual before-and-after photographic verification

5. Measure it — Empirical diversion metrics & zero greenwashing

Enterprise Cloud Architecture

Engineered with serverless cloud primitives for horizontal scalability, least-privilege security, and sub-second cold starts:

AWS Serverless (SAM)

Amazon API Gateway routes traffic to secure AWS Lambda functions with IAM least-privilege roles.

Amazon DynamoDB

Single-table key schema optimized for fast spatial queries, status lookups, and append-only audit events.

Amazon S3 & Presigned URLs

Client uploads directly to isolated S3 buckets via time-limited presigned URLs with MIME type enforcement.

Google Gemini 2.5 Flash

Server-side structured schema inference identifying polymers, hazardous e-waste, and facilities handling tips.

GreenLoopAI
Smarter waste. Measurable impact.

Operational Principle:

"Report it. Understand it. Resolve it. Prove it. Measure it."

Hackathon Readiness

GreenLoop AI includes a built-in deterministic demo adapter. You can test the end-to-end user journeys immediately in local development, or deploy directly to AWS using the provided SAM templates in infra/template.yaml.
