EcoCents is an innovative sustainability initiative aimed at significantly increasing the recycling rates in São Paulo. The city generates a staggering 27,000 tons of waste daily, with only a mere 2.1% being recycled, far below the ideal. By contrast, countries like Germany achieve recycling rates of up to 80%. Our mission at EcoCents is to tackle this environmental challenge head-on by boosting recycling efforts and promoting eco-friendly practices within local communities. EcoCents plans to install conveniently located collection points across various communities in São Paulo. These collection points will enable residents to easily dispose of their recyclable waste. Each participant will receive a unique identification code from our website (https://ecocents.webflow.io/) to label their waste bags, ensuring accurate tracking and rewarding of their recycling contributions. Participants will bring their recyclable materials—plastic, glass, and metal—to the designated collection points, where they will deposit their coded bags into secure bins. Each week, a contracted recycling company will collect and process these materials, ensuring they are recycled efficiently. Based on the type and weight of the recyclables collected, participants will earn points on our platform, which can be exchanged for money via PIX or other plataforms. The EcoCents project aims to not only reduce the environmental impact of waste in São Paulo but also provide financial incentives for community members to engage in sustainable practices. By increasing the recycling rates, we aspire to contribute to a cleaner environment and a more conscious society.

One of the significant environmental issues often overlooked is the proliferation of chemical waste generated by makeup and skincare products. As consumer demand for cosmetics and personal care items continues to soar, so does the production and disposal of these products, leading to a surge in chemical waste accumulation. Many conventional beauty products contain a myriad of synthetic chemicals, including preservatives, fragrances, and colorants. SkinScan allows users to scan their skin, providing an accurate analysis of their specific skin condition, whether it's acne, hyperpigmentation, or other issues. Instead of relying on influencer opinions or generalized product recommendations, Skin Scan uses this data to generate tailored suggestions. This approach eliminates the misinformation associated with social media trends.
Greenhouse gas emissions induced by human activities in land-system changes, freshwater use, and biogeochemical cycles are a driver of climate change, which need to be addressed urgently and systematically. There is huge potential in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in food services in educational institutions worldwide through more sustainable procurement of food. Although the university already has some sustainability initiatives, such as implementing reusable to-go containers and composting food waste, our proposal is targeted toward the source: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reducing costs, while meeting all nutrient recommendations. Using studies we found as a guide, we’re proposing to develop a greenhouse gas emissions-reduced, nutritionally adequate, and less expensive food list, optimized for minimum deviation from the current food supply, as a means to maximize acceptability, through the use of linear programming, and its impact on food waste, food consumption, and satisfaction will be assessed in the form of a pre-post design using interrupted time series analysis. With the help of professional meal planners and Excel specialists, we will utilize linear programming to develop four optimized models using Excel’s CBC Solver algorithm, where each model optimizes a different aspect of the baseline food list, such as greenhouse gas emissions, costs, and deviation of the optimized food supply compared to the observed food supply. The potential result that we are expecting is a food list that is up to 40% lower in greenhouse gas emissions and costs up to 11% less compared to the baseline, without negative effects on food waste or consumption.

Trash to Treasure is a facility, where people donate their unwanted items and where other people would pick up these items for under $15 or repair/resell those items. One area would be all under $15. Think of it as a thrift store where everything is under $15. There would also be another marketplace that’s reselling the refurbished items from the workshops. It’ll be a space for individuals to sell their upcycled goods. Look at the image attached to see what the layout of Trash to Treasure would look like. People often think of unwanted items as all useless junk, but that is a misconception. Approximately 20% of what we throw away can be recycled or refurbished (Nizar et al., 2018). Creating a way for the city to close the loop with consumption would greatly help reduce waste (Nizar et al., 2018; Geissdoerfer et al., 2017), which Trash to Treasure would do.
