Waste Protocol Carbon Credit Marketplace

The Waste Protocol Carbon Credit Marketplace is a decentralized platform built to incentivize waste reduction and carbon emission mitigation by creating an integrated ecosystem where waste is exchanged for Waste Coin. Waste Coin can then be used to purchase carbon credits, allowing individuals and organizations to offset their carbon footprint. This circular economy rewards environmentally conscious behavior by linking waste management to carbon offsetting, all powered by blockchain technology for transparency and efficiency.

Use Cases: For Households and Individuals: By recycling and managing waste responsibly, individuals can earn Waste Coin, which can be used to buy carbon credits, helping them to offset their carbon footprint. The platform encourages users to take direct action toward sustainability through waste reduction and responsible consumption.

For Businesses and Organizations: Companies looking to meet their carbon emission reduction goals can purchase carbon credits directly from the marketplace using Waste Coin. This allows businesses to achieve carbon neutrality while supporting a sustainable waste management ecosystem.

For Recyclers and Waste Management Companies: Recyclers can use the platform to buy waste materials directly from users and then process the waste responsibly, ensuring that valuable resources are reused rather than discarded.

Waste Protocol Carbon Credit Marketplace is built on the Ethereum blockchain using Solidity smart contracts to automate waste transactions, carbon credit purchases, and rewards with Waste Coin. We integrated Chainlink oracles to provide real-time carbon emission data for accurate carbon credit pricing. The platform features a Next.js frontend for a seamless Web2-to-Web3 user experience, with MetaMask integration for easy access.
