“Pick n Chop” as the name implies is a waste disposal platform that rewards users for picking and disposing of plastic wastes in designated regions. It is built on the blockchain to provide transparency and accountability of assets in the platform for users to access as rewards will be given in the proportion of plastic wastes they dispose of. It will also create an alternative source of income for users who put extra effort into disposing of a larger quantity of plastic wastes as they will be eligible for higher rewards and this process will scale-up waste management and environmental sustainability practice.
