Waste management involves the collection, transport, processing, and disposal of waste materials. Its primary objective is to minimize environmental impact and recover valuable resources. Effective systems address various waste streams, including industrial, commercial, and household refuse. Blockchain technology can enhance transparency in waste tracking and recycling initiatives.
Context
Current waste management practices are increasingly scrutinized for their environmental efficiency and data integrity. A key discussion centers on verifying the actual destination and processing of waste, particularly for recycling efforts. Blockchain solutions are being explored to create auditable records of waste streams from generation to final disposition. This supports verifiable sustainability claims and circular economy models.
BASF Canada's reciChain platform leverages blockchain and digital badging to enhance circularity and transparent traceability of recycled plastics, optimizing value chain efficiency and compliance.
