Proper waste management results in a more improved, safer and healthier environment, which is the goal of every humane society.
Waste management is not an end but a means to an end. Also waste management is not a one-time event, but a continuous and progressive process.
Waste management is the specific name for the gathering, movement, dispersal or recycling and monitoring of waste. This term is known to be the material, refuse that is produced through human activity. These materials are usually managed to prevent adverse effect over human health and environment.
As long as humans live, waste will be created. No one is innocent of waste creation, but only a few are conscious of the environment. Other countries of the world do not manage waste well and have created huge environmental problems for all inhabitants including human and animals.
Dangers of Waste Mismanagement:
Whenever waste is mismanaged, the following result:
i. The environment becomes dangerously unhealthy.
ii. Resources are unharnessed and so wasted.
iii. The society spends more and expensively on healthcare, etc.
Perceived Solution:
Today, different communities handle their refuse differently. Traditional means of handling waste includes land-filling, recycling and composting. Other communities strongly embark on waste reduction and litter prevention/control aimed at reducing the production of waste in the first place. Advanced countries have developed waste-to-energy plants and hazardous waste disposal programs
Steps to the Solution:
i. Awareness
ii. Definite steps
iii. Targeted actions
iv. Repeat steps
How Blockchain Technology can help:
According to Wikipedia, a blockchain is a decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that the record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and the collusion of the network.
Blockchain is known to be the world’s leading software platform for digital assets. Blockchain technology has powered over 100M transactions and empowered users in 140 countries across the globe to transact quickly and without costly intermediaries.
Swachhcoin
Swachhcoin aims to create a decentralised waste management ecosystem that perceives waste as the greatest untapped resource and utilises it to fulfil human needs in any possible manner. With Swachhcoin, any waste contributor is rewarded monetarily in Swachh Tokens for responsible waste disposal in their nearby Swachh Bins. Also, any and every waste processing industry associated with Swachhcoin will have the most advanced tools and technologies at their disposal designed exclusively for their day to day operations to increase their efficiency and productivity. The ecosystem thus developed is beneficial for everyone associated with it and also our planet.
The basic idea is to aware the masses about the possibility of waste around them and provide them necessary motivation to manage their waste properly through the reward system. This is the single most important factor to overcome the prevailing situation since it can over a period of time bring about a significant change in behaviour of a huge population where they become more responsible towards their waste disposal. Also, the industries getting equipped with the state of the art technologies will enable them produce excellent quality outputs with ground breaking efficiency and productivity. We are using Big Data, IoT, AI along with Blockchain technology for the said purpose.
Out of all the available options, we chose ethereum technology for at least our initial phase particularly owing to its mass adoption, flexibility and ease of integration. In future, we look forward to develop our own blockchain based on the community support the we receive in the coming days.
We have an ongoing Pre-Sale where a number of investors have committed over 1,000 Ethers. A total of 25,111,111 out of 276,000 tokens allocated for Crowdfunding will be up for grabs during PreSale. This phase will end on 15th June 2018 or until all the tokens allocated for presale are sold, whichever is first. The primary objective of presale is to accumulate enough funds to kick-start the main token sale. Maximum portion of the funds received during pre-sale will go into marketing campaign, necessary collaborations, hiring outside help if necessary and platform development for main token sale. The main token sale is scheduled to begin on 14th July 2018 and will last until 15th August 2018 for 31 days period or until hard cap is reached, whichever is first. Maximum portion of tokens allocated for main token sale will be directed towards our development and industry deployments.

Thanks for your comment
How will the system be financed after ICO? What will be your source of income? The whole thing seems to be very vague, leaving me very sceptical.
Thanks for your response, i would implore you to visit the website , so you can be fed with tons of information, but i will give a brief reply to your question. Please this article has a clearer response to your question https://medium.com/@swachhcoin/swapp-a-modern-way-of-social-reform-6a1a2dda113f
Thanks for the response. Good luck with your project. Seems very ambitious. I think you are having a very long way to walk. I am working in the recycling industry (plastics & WEEE) for many years now. So I believe I now what I am talking about.
PS: Meanwhile there are also fully electifried trucks for the transport of waste :)
I appreciate your comment. Thanks for taking time to read.
