Background

In today's digital age, USB cables play a crucial role in connectivity, yet their disposal is frequently overlooked. Following the European Parliament's approval, Apple has transitioned from the proprietary Lightning connector to the universally compatible USB-C, adopting a single charging solution across its range of electronic devices. This shift comes amid global concerns about electronic waste, with nearly $10 billion worth of e-waste being discarded annually. This amount of waste includes enough cable to circle the earth 107 times, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable electronic practices.


Overview
This project, RE focuses on reimagining the user experience (UX) for e-recycling cables, identifying key user demographics, and optimizing business strategies for a cable recycling system integrated across our web application.
