How the platform works

One connected flow, doorstep to rewards

Each stage records an event, so nothing is guessed and everything can be verified.

  1. 01

    Resident

    A resident joins the program and gets started.

  2. 02

    QR Activation

    Each recycling bag is given a unique, trackable QR identity.

  3. 03

    Pickup Request

    The resident schedules a doorstep pickup.

  4. 04

    Driver Scan

    The driver scans the bag at the curb — custody begins.

  5. 05

    Warehouse Verification

    Materials are weighed and inspected at the facility.

  6. 06

    Impact Calculation

    Weight, CO₂, and diversion are computed from verified inputs.

  7. 07

    Community Reporting

    Activity rolls up into community-level analytics.

  8. 08

    Digital Passport

    A shareable, verifiable record of the bag's journey.

  9. 09

    Rewards

    Verified recycling earns points — a reward, not cash.
