Recycle App

ATUNLO APP CASE STUDY

Design Process - Atunlo App

Overview:
It can get stressful trying to dispose of wastes or recycling wastes.

ATUNLO will serve as a platform where you can recycle your wastes, buy and sell old household items and also purchase waste management trucks.
ATUNLO is a user-friendly application that is very easy to navigate through.
This app requires your geolocation in order to give suggestions of nearby recycling centers and also help detect your location for the pickup of your household wastes.
On the app, recycling bins will be located and item recycling details will be found.

User Interview:
To understand how this app can solve the problem that people have with recycling, I interviewed people from different locations.
I wanted to understand what their experience with recycling is like or if they even recycle at all.
I also asked the problems they faced with recycling.
Below are conclusions from the interview:

Burning:
Most people burn their wastes.

Waste management trucks:
About 30% have waste trucks pick up their wastes.

Recycling:
None of them recycles.
Their reason was the lack of know-how.
They didn't know how to go about it or who to contact for recycling.

User Flowchart:
Mapping the basic flow of the app made me realise how a user would go through the app inside each flow.
This flow made sketching the screens of the app easy.

Wireframe/Sketch
I outlined the app and imagined it visually using the userflow chart.

User Interface:
The UI for this app has a simplistic feel with appropriate illustration and pictures to accompany it.
The main HEX code that the app uses is #4CAF50 with white background and #3333 for texts.
