Abstract
A product reclamation system may include a mobile device associated with a given user. The mobile device may be configured to obtain an image of a product to be discarded. The system may also include a reclamation server configured to obtain the image of the product from the mobile device, and apply image recognition techniques to the obtained image to determine if the product is a reclaimable product. The server is configured to, when the product is determined to be a reclaimable product, operate a machine learning algorithm to determine a reclamation value for the reclaimable product, communicate the reclamation value to the mobile device, and prompt the given user, via the mobile device, to send the reclaimable product to a reclamation facility in exchange for the reclamation value, and generate and communicate a digital promotion to the mobile device based upon sending the product to the reclamation facility.
