Ecociclo: conectando pessoas a locais de descarte de resíduos orgânicos para sustentabilidade

Abstract

The management of organic waste is an environmental and social challenge that requires innovative technological solutions to optimize proper disposal and encourage community engagement. This work presents the development of a web platform focused on environmental education and the mapping of collection points, facilitating access to information about recycling and composting. The platform aims to engage citizens and promote sustainable practices, contributing to waste reduction and minimizing environmental impact. The research is grounded in literature on technologies applied to sustainability and waste management, emphasizing the role of Environmental Education and community collaboration in building more sustainable cities. The application was developed using the Next.js framework with TypeScript, and the Leaflet library was used for geolocation-based mapping. As a result, a functional platform was implemented, allowing users to register collection points with geolocation and access educational content, thus promoting environmental awareness and improving access to proper waste disposal locations. The platform presents key features aligned with the objectives proposed in this study. Keywords: organic waste, sustainability, technologies, environmental Education.
