Incentivized Blockchain-based Decentralized E-Waste Management: A Sustainable Model for Green Computing and Circular Economy

The proliferation of technology, while enhancing convenience and innovation, has engendered a formidable ecological challenge electronic waste (e-waste). Improper disposal practices, toxic components, and the sheer volume of discarded electronics imperil the planet. In response, a pioneering decentralized platform has emerged, poised to revolutionize e-waste recycling. This platform meticulously records electronic purchases and user data, offering comprehensive tracking of device lifecycles. Notably, it incentivizes responsible disposal, motivating users to participate in eco-friendly recycling or disposal measures by offering rewards like discounts on future electronic purchases. Customers will receive valuable incentives each time they recycle a unit, and they can access these rewards through their e-wallets. To create an e-wallet, all that’s required is to provide their email address. Moreover, the platform champions the concept of a circular electronics economy, promoting device reuse, refurbishment, and recycling. By harnessing this decentralized platform, the aim is to mitigate the environmental repercussions of e-waste and champion sustainable electronic device consumption and disposal practices. This innovative solution offers environmental benefits and valuable incentives, establishing a symbiotic system that promises a more sustainable future.
