YouSort app

Helping people recycle products in a personalized way

Do you have a problem to recycle some products that are not clearly identifiable as belonging to the plastic, paper or glass bin? If so, YouSort app will solve this problem! Our idea is to create an app that would explain to users to which bin they should put EVERY piece of their waste. After you buy goods in our partner stores, you will get a receipt with a QR code. To find out how to recycle every item on the shopping list, scan the code with YouSort app and click on the item you wish to read about. Easy to use and to understand: this is what recycling needs! Recycling is not just protecting our planet. Have fun with YouSort app and develop a healthy addition to recycling! For every recycled product, you earn eco-points that will, after a while, give you the possibility to get a product for free from one of our partner shops. Enlarge your horizons with educational and explicative videos and texts about why and how to recycle in general. With our interactive map discover places where you can recycle specific waste (electronic, and other waste that can be reused). Premium option will make available some services such as delivery of waste from your home to adequate places, and many others!

Why YOU need YouSort app

Our target users are Parisians. We defined four different types of users : Eco-concerned, Eco-wishers, Reward-hunters and Premium seekers, which contain two different categories, the Sloppy-users and the Do-it-for-me users. We choose to focus on private individuals because they are not enough informed and it is a broader audience that can make a change.

Eco-concerned

If you are already recycling your products, then YouSort app is right for you. The app will to improve your experience by making it funnier, quicker or even simple. You will also find tips and places you don’t know yet in Paris to recycle particular products. It is possible that their recycling process is incomplete and does not cover every domestic products. If you get excited about the app, you can become its ambassador, share it with your friends and do shopping in eco-friendly shops together.

Eco-wishers

Do you believe that protecting the environment is important but you find difficult to recycle because you lack relevant information? The application will be your recycling guide both for concrete products you have bought, and for other kinds of belongings, because it completes information about them. Thanks to this, as an eco-wishers you will finally have access to a big data-base. Moreover, the rewards and eco-points will encourage you to continue the effort : it will have a concrete and physical repercussion on your everyday life.

Reward-hunters

Even if you do not care at all about recycling in itself, you might be quite interested in rewards you can earn thanks to the app and its points. Transform your points to shopping coupons and spend it in our partners’ store. Using our app is like a game: the more you recycle, the more rewards you get. Finally, we are sure that you will not only get addicted to rewards but also to recycling: become more conscious of the environment issues, adopt a new habit that is necessary for the planet.

Premium-seekers

The last type of users the app targets are the so called “premium seekers” whose needs and wills correspond exactly to the Premium option the You Sort app offers. Premium seekers are divided into two different categories.

Sloppy-users You want to recycle but do not put enough effort or time in it. You are too lazy or simply do not have time to recycle but are still concerned about environment, earth, and next generations. This is why our app is useful for you! The Premium option gives you the possibility of protecting the nature without doing too much effort but just paying for it. it’s practical and easy to use.

Do-it-for-me users You have restricted mobility or getting older. Your are concerned about the environment, earth and the future of next generations as well, but the reason why you do not recycle is physical: they simply cannot move their waste to the bins, to special sorting places nor even sorting it by themselves. Thanks to the premium offer of the app, we can help you achieve a good gesture for environment although you do not have the ability to do it on your own. The app is user-friendly, which is simple to use even for non-familiar people with digital tools. Our help is concrete because it is a personal assistance to manage trash, which can be heavy and difficult to deal with.
