Goal

GidiScrap is an open marketplace that directly connects buyers of used and recycled plastics with recyclers and businesses who want to purchase them.

How It Works

Step 1: Company needs scrap PET plastics

1. Company Staff creates an account on GidiScrap with MetaMask (or Valora)
2. The Company Staff sets the company profile with the following details: Name, Contact Number, Contact Email, and Address.
3. The Staff makes an offer on GidiScrap by entering the details of the plastic, including the type (PET), quantity required, and expiry date.
4. The company selects the collection center from a predefined list.
5. Based on the type and quantity of plastics requested, the amount to be escrowed by the company is shown.
6. The Staff escrows the requested cUSD amount with their MetaMask wallet.
7. The request is published to the open marketplace for users to fulfill.

Step 3: Recyclers

• Recycler signs up on GidiScrap with their phone number
• The recycler is automatically assigned a wallet address
• The recycler chooses their current location and adds it to their profile
• The recycler opens up the marketplace, and sees requests for plastics in their location.
• The recycler can view the request details, including the type, quantity required, amount per quantity, and the dropoff address.
• The recycler gathers the plastics.
  • Since the dropoff center is within their locality, the recycler is recommended to first take a sample to the collection center to ensure they have the right type of plastic required.

Step 3: Dropoff happens

• Sure of the type and quantity, the recycler takes it to the dropoff center.
