EcoCleans

Project Description

EcoCleans is a Web3-powered recycling and waste management platform designed to transform how individuals and communities across Africa handle waste, earn rewards, and promote environmental sustainability.

Built on the U2U Network (Ultron Universe Network), the platform leverages its high-speed, low-cost, and energy-efficient blockchain infrastructure to ensure on-chain transparency, traceable transactions, and decentralized ownership. By deploying smart contracts on U2U, EcoCleans guarantees that every recycling activity, reward payout, and product exchange remains verifiable and tamper-proof.

Users can:

- Recycle waste materials (plastic, iron, nylon, bottles, etc.)

- Earn rewards in stablecoins or Eco-tokens based on waste weight

- ⁠Swap tokens for cash, airtime, or electricity units

- Shop eco-friendly, recycled products directly in-app

Through verified pickup agents, embedded crypto wallets, and trackable delivery systems, EcoCleans empowers individuals to turn waste into wealth, combat pollution, and foster a circular economy across Africa.

Project Goals

- Promote Environmental Sustainability

Encourage proper waste management and recycling practices in Africa.

- Empower Individuals and Communities

Reward citizens for recycling and reduce poverty by turning waste into economic value.

* Leverage Blockchain Transparency

Use blockchain (U2U smart contracts) to ensure trust, traceability, and accountability in transactions and recycling processes.

- Support Local Innovation and Businesses

Connect artisans and vendors who upcycle materials with buyers through an integrated eco-shop marketplace.

- Create an Inclusive Green Economy

Provide new income streams for riders, waste pickers, and small-scale producers through digital inclusion.
