    Idea with potential but How big is the problem?

    The value of this proposal or idea depends a lot on how big is this problem? I think the proposal would benefit from diving deeper into the industry, the opportunity within the industry, and the dimension of the problem they are trying to solve. 

    The reality is that for this to be profitable, this solution could only be used for big waste producers, like companies or farms, or something with enough way to justify the waste recyclers to optimize this route for the individual client. 

    My question is, wouldn’t it be relatively simpler for the waste producers and the companies, to simply identify the waste they produce, understand how much it is on average, and agree on a certain timeline for recovery of waste? This seems easier and more practical than having an AI model to do this unless, there have been huge issues with these recycling networks, that are costing a lot of money to waste recyclers and waste producers. If there are that should be stressed by the platform. 

    Without huge issues is likely there is no one interested in paying for such an AI service.

    Overall I think this could be a great solution, great for the environment and the companies involved, but for me to know that I would need more information on the problem something that is lacking and that affects negatively my rating.

    There is also a mention of tokens for recyclers, but how exactly would an economic be created to assure that the tokens awarded will have any kind of monetary value? What would be the demand drivers for this token?

    Gathering really useful data for this proposal will also be hard because ideally, you should focus on the specific region you would like to target and get real-life data directly from the source ( waste producers and waste management companies) which they might be reluctant to share or worse, which they might not even be properly capturing such data.

    From this proposal, I really appreciate the focus on trying to make a positive change in the world and make it a more sustainable place. I believe if the Team can answer some of the questions I left in this review, they can honestly have a really great proposal!

    Hi, I’m not sure if I grasped this correctly. Could you give any practical examples how the service would work? I mean, when we talk about waste producers, are we talking about individuals, households, corporations, cities, nations or any types of entities? What might be some example variables in the prediction? I assume this service would be primarily about guiding the waste collectors and recyclers to organize their operations efficiently?

    • Weaknesses: Data collection on waste generation and ensuring its accuracy across various locations might be challenging. Building a user base and adoption by waste management companies requires effort.

    Viability:

    • Moderate: Success depends on the effectiveness of the AI algorithms, platform adoption by key stakeholders (producers, waste management companies), and the value proposition of the token system.
    • Strengths: The focus on efficiency, transparency, and sustainability addresses significant concerns in waste management.
    • Weaknesses: The project needs to demonstrate the economic benefits for waste producers and management companies compared to existing solutions. The token system's value and long-term viability need to be clarified.

    Desirability:

    • Moderate: For waste management companies, producers seeking efficient solutions, and environmentally conscious communities, this can be desirable.
    • Strengths: The potential for cost savings, increased transparency, and promoting community involvement can be appealing.
    • Weaknesses: The reliance on a new platform and token system might be met with initial resistance from established players in the waste management sector.

    Usefulness:

    • Moderate (in proposal stage): The proposal outlines a platform with the potential to improve waste management efficiency and incentivize recycling.
    • Strengths: This project has the potential to optimize waste collection, reduce environmental impact, and encourage responsible waste disposal practices.
    • Weaknesses: The long-term impact on waste diversion rates, user adoption across diverse locations, and the overall economic and environmental benefits need evaluation.

    Additional Points:

    • Pilot testing the platform in a specific region with engaged stakeholders can be a valuable first step.
    • Focusing on clear benefits for each participant (producers, waste management companies, communities) is crucial for user adoption.
    • The project needs a well-defined plan for data security and privacy regarding waste generation information.

    Overall, SMART WASTE has the potential to be a valuable platform for the waste management sector. However, careful consideration should be given to data acquisition, user adoption strategies, and the economic viability of the token system. A data-driven approach with pilot testing and user feedback can help refine the platform and maximize its impact.

    Here are some strengths of this project:

    • Addresses critical challenges in waste management: inefficiency, lack of transparency, and low recycling rates.
    • Proposes a multi-faceted approach with AI, smart contracts, and community engagement features.
    • Identifies clear goals related to efficiency, transparency, and promoting sustainable practices.

    Project contribute to environmental sustainability

    By connecting waste producers directly with waste management companies and recyclers, SMART WASTE streamlines the waste management process. This efficiency reduces the environmental impact of waste by ensuring timely collection and proper disposal or recycling.

    Also, SMART WASTE incentivizes recycling through Community-Led Recycling Initiatives, where community members earn tokens for participating in recycling programs. This promotes recycling behavior and reduces the amount of waste ending up in landfills or incinerators.
