Another major climate challenge concerns plastic pollution. The Planet Solution App suggests using mobile technology to minimize plastic waste while also creating resilient livelihoods for the urban poor.
This digital-based technology connects waste sources, collectors, and processors to provide full-service waste management. This enables complete supply chain transparency and traceability, as well as complete operational visibility. The idea is to encourage reward-based recycling by pairing individuals who want to sponsor cleanups with those who want to clean it for a reward.
