Challenge Area:
Urban Planning

Problem Statement:
Inefficient waste management in cities leads to pollution and health risks.

Solution Concept:
A blockchain-based waste tracking system (e.g., Polkadot) to monitor recycling processes. IoT bins log data on a ledger, and smart contracts incentivize recycling.

Expected Impact:
Improves recycling rates by 20%, reducing landfill waste for 1M+ residents.

Next Steps:
Develop a PoC with Polkadot, simulate IoT data, and create API documentation.

Challenge Area:
Urban waste management

Problem Statement:
Inefficient waste management in cities leads to pollution and health risks, with limited accountability.

Solution Concept:
A blockchain-based waste tracking system where municipalities and recyclers log waste collection and processing on-chain. Smart contracts incentivize recycling with tokens.

Expected Impact:
Improves waste management efficiency, reduces landfill use, and promotes recycling in urban areas.

Next Steps:
Develop a PoC with a waste tracking smart contract, integrate a token reward system, and create a municipal dashboard.
