Blockchain Recycling Improvements
Blockchain technology has the potential to transform plastic waste management by improving transparency and traceability. Its decentralised ledger ensures accurate tracking of waste, whilst smart contracts and digital rewards can encourage responsible recycling. When combined with Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain enables real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making, making waste management more efficient and sustainable.
By leveraging blockchain technology to securely track transactions, recycling programs can reward participants with digital tokens, driving greater engagement and accountability in the fight against plastic pollution.
