This project by BCDC is actually one of the branches of the main projects that they are launching to help save the environment. Many times we have seen recycling projects being launched in many parts of the world, but how many of them are really successful. Many of our recycled waste still end up being treated as normal trash and defeats the purpose.
The RecycleToCoin project will allow partners like the Plastic Disclosure Project ( PDP ), families and companies around the world to calculate and eventually off set their plastic footprint.
BCDC will only support projects with proven track records that has been successful in tackling plastic pollution problems.
Fundings will be recorded on the blockchain, meaning that all stakeholders will have a transparent and clear idea of how the project is progressing.
The project will encourage every stakeholders to make change by disposing plastic which are readily recyclable. Projects will also tackle on the field of reducing plastic pollution and preventing plastic material from being end up as landfill materials or returned to the environment. The plastic materials will be used to be recycled into proper consumer products or usable plastic materials. Based on CNBC's latest study, the world has made more than 9 billion tons of plastic since 1950s and till now only 9% of these plastics are being properly recycled.
Plastic pollution is also affecting our oceans and causing more damages to the sea environment and the marine life. Based on the ocean legacy foundation. 2 billion people within areas around 30 miles to the ocean, 100 million metric tons of coastal plastic waste. Plastic waste that are disposed into the sea each year has damaged or killed the lifes of 1,000,000 marine life.
These shocking numbers will just continue to increase as more and more consumers disposables are being created to cope with the demand. Also with internet online selling being more and more popular, more and more packaging waste which includes plastics will be created.
