ThrashSmart

ThrashSmart solution leverages the Internet of Things IoT and mobility technology, vehicular, sensor as well as mobile technology for smart consumption, recycling, reduce, reuse and repurposing.

Impact

This solution aims at providing clean and decent Jobs across board as we scale and we are targeting well over 125,000 entrepreneurs in the circular economy by our solution's Business Model. This assistive model technically diversify the waste economy through internet technology enabling many young plugs to ideally make a earning from eco wallets, insights for service improvement into the actual fill level of various disposal units, whose loads can vary by the day, the week, and the season. 

Sensor-enabled bins get information on fill level, temperature, location data. With a user interface revealing the locations and fill levels of all bins, waste collectors can get an automated route planned for performance optimization, fleet logistics operations and reduced fuel consumption for psp collectors.

ThrashSmart is decongesting landfills and we are part of the zero plastic initiative. We are also strategically solving problems associated with waste by promoting responsible consumption patterns.

ThrashSmart is an IoT and mobile technology powered smart solution leveraging mobility technology and vehicular sensor technology. It's proof of concepts as an assistive technology integrates Seamlessly the Business Intelligence and Data Visualization/Analytics technology.

Thrasmart's needs assessment indices shows that well over 5 billion Tons of plastic wastes are not properly handled across Africa and we are enabling solutions to this through activation of more strategic partnerships.

Our analytics and insights through AI and Data Visualization and Artificial Intelligence Technology proves that we have already 17,000 businesses through Business Intelligence from our eco directory that can make this achievable.

The most common IoT application in waste management operations currently is the automated route optimization of garbage pickup trucks. Our Smart Packaging with digital tags (QR codes, Barcodes, Datamatrix codes, tags) can play a part in ensuring people recycle and dispose of waste responsibly. Those confused can rapidly pull up instructions on how to dispose of a particular item in an interactive format, by a simple scan of the digital tags with their smartphones.

The need to repurpose, reduce, recycle and reuse and decongest our landfills due increase in volume of waste generated across the nation due to numbers of factors which include high population growth rate , increasing in urbanization and influx of migration into the metropolis however the poor management put threat on our environment and health of the citizen. 

Our goal is a smarter and automated psp operations and delivering higher quality services to citizens. A growing collection of interlinked autonomous systems are managing everyday urban operations and improving both citizen experiences and meeting our carbon footprint.

The Thrashmart solution is an ideal solution for this age as we dive deeper into the fourth industrial revolution which necessitates the adoption of technology in practices, processes and patterns for planetary, people's profits.

This assistive technology eases the pines encountered by waste collectors, processors and even the consumer can find the simplest ways to domesticate their wastes either through conversion into clean energy or trading on the ecomart for real monetary reward.

Consumption patterns is easier to track and to a reasonably high extent, practices are simplified for all users.

AI, Data, IoT/Cloud Infrastructure, Sensor and Vehicular Technologies are all players to this solution as derived from the technology proof of concepts.

Our partners Amazon Web Services (AWS) EMEA team has also suggested best practices for the solution from our recurring consultation on product improvement.

Evidence of Use

Only a few countries like Poland l, Australia and Taiwan has this solution but our uniqueness is the modification and distribution patterns.

Seing the real life scenario and the trends on how the Covid 19 crisis has shaped the future of work and many are embracing the new normal, it is also inevitable that the change patterns would impart other industry and economies directly especially the waste management industry. There is a need to change the behavioural patterns as well as modify through design thinking the perspectives for globalization or localisation of contents. This is seen as many companies are springing up in packaging, recycling, management of wastes and of course our technology platform integrates all of their Products, Processes and Practices in a simple IoT and data powered mobile application.

From research data, the increase in the body of wastes in landfills is both posing high human and Environment health risks to our populace and a feedback through many surveys evidently proves that there is need to change consumption patterns by adopting the Repurpose, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle mechanisms of change in consumption, handling and management patterns.

The transitioning into the circular economy is a factor of eminence and has validated our point of view to the need to transform our local consumptions, industry patterns and revolutionise the industry through Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Development of the SDGs.

From research findings consumption behaviour is most likely to be easy among the poor/low income earners and otherwise among the high income counterparts. This our model gives room for management of all categories of user perspective from our pilot projects both in rural and urban centers and it is a succeful conduct of validity.

Currently Serves : 200,000

One year usage projection: 1,000,000

Five year usage: 3,000,000

We are already collaborating with global industry leaders in technology and discussing our technology proof of concepts with Amazon Web service EMEA representatives, also working on public usage licence, IP licencing, patency and proprietary information security licences.

Financing and usage variability are identifiers on the scale of usage for this solution as there may be strict impediments to acceptance of a particular audience in the market to our technology.

Internet penetration and access toobile phones also could be a stiff challenge to expanding the reach of our solution.

Government administration prioritizing infrastructure and failure of private ventures to invest in waste management is also identifiable challenge.

Attract investor through tractions, story telling about solution success stories as well as reorientate citizenry of importance of attaining these goals through humanitarianism and Community compliance approach.

Below are the different usage categories of our business model

B2B C2C channels is our primary revenue model.

We provide Market linkage to eco ventures and access to equity through units of shares from subscriptions as well as access market place.

Free Usage and credit scores to Social entrepreneurship access to knowledge base and data usage insights and outsourcing.

Massive subsidisation and incentivized model for plastic waste recyclers from user ec wallet dashboard.

Our sustainable financing model shall be through Ads, leads and subscriptions.

High obtainable income and revenue from sales of bins, sensors and app usage parameters through click tracking, analytics on sales as well as vendor subscriptions are our primary modes of income generation.

Secondary to the aforementioned are grants loans and partnership.

The problems associated with waste management are numerous and the daunting responsibilities of PSPs or waste collectors are a factor under massive risk to health challenges.

Decongesting landfills is one of our priorities, as well as reducing plastic usages in urban centers and rural communities.

Meeting up our national NDCs targets, decarbonisation and the meeting of our carbon footprints is our collective bargaining and with this solution that is pretty achievable.

Automating industry process through the technology shy industry is another eye on gold through our solution.

All of the aforementioned requires funding, technical and logistical supports which we consider mostly as a barrier to getting the solution to scale across board.

Collaboration for Partnership is much needed to foster an all inclusive strategies for both the social and business aspect of our solution.

However from our experimentation, we need more inclusive strategies and collective bargaining to drive a revolutionary change for our global impact stories to reach out to communities where the solutions are most needed.

Fostering partnerships in this vein is relevant as much as imperative to solving the global waste challenges. From my experience in the UNEP MGCY Chemicals and Waste working group and UNEA 5 concepts, there is need to push more for partnership.
