| Summary: | In this era of rapid technological advancement and heightened living standards, the
ubiquitous accessibility of information and innovative tools stands out. Yet, the surging
issue of textile waste, propelled by the fast fashion phenomenon, casts a shadow. Even
with a growing recycling consciousness, affordable and transient fashion trends
exacerbate textile discard rates, directing a concerning volume into landfills. To address
this, this study introduced a mobile application tailored to facilitate sustainable
wardrobe management. Employing the Agile Development methodology and crafted
using Android Studio with Firebase integration, the system boasted three distinctive
features: an online marketplace for reselling secondhand clothing, a dedicated platform
for users to donate their apparel to charitable organizations, and a unique rewards
system. This reward feature incentivizes and acknowledges users for their charitable
donations, further encouraging sustainable practices. The Agile approach segmented
the project into focused sprints, emphasizing continuous integration, testing, and
adaptability rooted in real-time feedback. Upon completion, user testing was initiated,
with feedback overwhelmingly positive. Users lauded the intuitive interface, smooth
marketplace transactions, effortless donation processes, and the rewarding experience
offered, confirming the application's efficacy in addressing textile waste and promoting
environmentally conscious behaviors. In the evolving landscape of technology and
sustainable practices, the system was developed with objectives centering around
combating the "throwaway" culture, providing an integrated solution for selling and
donating old clothes, and enhancing user experience with a rewarding and intuitive
interface. These objectives were realized as users now have a seamless platform that
not only encourages the resale and donation of clothing but also incentivizes sustainable
behavior through an innovative rewards system, all while offering advanced search
capabilities and promoting a reduced textile waste footprint. |
