ResQCart is a sustainability-driven AI logistics system designed to minimize waste in large-scale e-commerce ecosystems like Walmart. It rescues canceled, returned, or near-expiry products and re-routes them to nearby interested customers in real time — at discounted prices. The system encourages responsible consumption by offering carbon-saving incentives and transparent stakeholder benefits while seamlessly integrating into existing retail flows.

Key Features:

• Smart Rescue Detection Engine: Identifies eligible products based on type, location, condition, and carbon cost.

• AI Matching System: Suggests products to users within 3–5 km, prioritizing those opted into “GreenCart Deals”.

• Live Eco Offers: Sends time-limited notifications showing CO₂ savings per purchase.

• Transparent Benefits: Customers save money, sellers reduce loss, and Walmart boosts ESG goals.

Impact:

Reduced landfill waste and reverse logistics emissions, promotion of circular consumption, and stronger community engagement through hyperlocal reuse. Future plans include NGO partnerships, user eco-loyalty scores, and sustainable packaging systems.
