Greetings @ChainBuilderPO ! Your project seems to be missing details on:
Project Website:
Project Test Instructions:
Please add them to your project. Thank you!
Hello team!
The project description is thorough! Wish you all the best.
While you have addressed almost all the working of the project, I wanted to know if the platform will also take care of the logistics of delivering the plastic bottles to the buyer, etc.
Thanks!

How will you measure the reduced volume of plastic waste in areas where you have collection centers? Will you compare the data before and after the implementation of the project?

Thanks for catching that @Gordian. It was a redirect issue. Should be fixed now.
Please try it on a desktop, and try signing in as a company and creating an offer.

Your project will help to alleviate a major problem in Africa. My question is how is prices going to be determined. Is it by the system or the buyer ?

I will also plead with you to include insurance for the sellers because they sometimes come across accident in their quest to gather the waste/plastics.

Good idea!
This will be added to our open dispute portal, which we’re currently working on.
Stay tuned!

Thanks for your question @kaarasamuel9 …
the buyer sets the price, but as an open marketplace, most recyclers would go for offers with higher prices, so buyers have an incentive to set a reasonable price.

Nice project. Plastic waste is indeed a problem as it takes thousands of years for a plastic to degrade and this indeed has a negative overall effect on the environment.
My question is, are you creating your own collection centres or you have companies that you are already in partnership with that are taking these plastic waste from the collectors.
Also how fair is the transaction between a collector and and buyer, are you using any weighing system so that the weight will determine the number of tokens to receive.
Furthermore does your project seek to accept any plastic at all cos i know some plastic cannot be recycled especially with the LDPE (low density polyethylene). i stand to be corrected

Si pero has pensado que el principal problema es el de utilizar el plástico en envases y en tu vida diaria, crean el problema y después tu buscas la solución, que más tarde pagarás con impuestos o excusas.
Antes se usaba vidrio para todo, el cual se devolvía y obtenias otro envase, sino debías de pagarlo.
El plástico es perjudicial para el organismo, se adhiere a los productos que más tarde tu consumes.
La mayor solución es no consumir alimentos envasados en plástico y aluminio. Despertemos usemos lo que siempre se había empleado, no siempre lo moderno es acorde con tu salud.

When i was a child, all food in Ghana were wrapped in leaves, we said it was unhygienic, we abandoned our green leaves wrappers and adopted polytene bags, now this generation has come to realise these plastic bags are killing us slowly and they have reverted to the leaves again.
But all these weedicides we have been applying in our farms has almost sent this special type of leaf for the wrapping into extinction. If we dont wake up now, we wont wake up at all.

Te das cuenta como eran más inteligentes nuestros ancestros que se guiaban por la intuición del ser humano.
En cambio la generación actual se guía por los medios de manipulación masiva, tengo un lema lo que me dicen que es bueno, ni lo pruebo, prefiero lo malo para todos, se que mi salud me lo agredecerá.
