SYSTEM IMPLEMENTING SOLID-WASTE CARBON EXCHANGE

摘要

A system is disclosed for managing waste. The system may include a first portal to generate information associated with collection and final disposition of solid waste, and a second portal to generate a protocol for registering, verifying, and accounting for an amount of solid waste diverted from a landfill to a recycling facility. The system may further include a processing unit configured to receive the information and the protocol, to determine a baseline carbon footprint based on the information and the protocol, and to determine a reduced carbon footprint resulting from content diversion. The processing unit may also be configured to register the baseline and reduced carbon footprints, to receive a waste coin based on an offset between the baseline and reduced carbon footprints, and to selectively cause at least one of the baseline carbon footprint, the reduced carbon footprint, and the waste coin to be shown on a display.
