Waste management prototype development using design thinking.

The waste problem is a problem that, until now, is quite challenging to overcome, especially with the amount of waste increasing daily. Data in 2019 shows that there are 175,000 tons of waste, of which 14% is plastic waste. The amount of waste indeed continues to grow over time. For this reason, it is necessary to take steps to overcome these problems. One of the steps that can be done is to take advantage of technology. In this research, it was explained how to develop a mobile-based application that is useful for educating and answering problems about waste. This application serves to pick up the waste and will later be managed to be used as a more useful form. This research also explained the results of the application feasibility test involving several respondents using the System Usability Scale (SUS) mechanism, where the results indicated that the application was running well.
