About the Customer:

No Waste Ukraine, a social non-profit environmental organization, was in need of an automated assistant that would help people who were only beginning to sort rubbish.

Business Challenge

No Waste Ukraine, a social non-profit environmental organization, was in need of an automated assistant that would help people who were only beginning to sort rubbish. Due to the immature municipal recycling infrastructure, lack of recycling bins and stations in the city, as well as lack of effective sustainability programs and flawed state regulations, the ultimate task of fostering recycling culture in Kyiv city was already rather complicated. The digital assistant would reduce the amount of time and manual work spent by volunteers to answer questions via Telegram, and provide information on how to sort waste with decreased response time, improved agility and maintenance flexibility.
