Elevator pitch
What is your solution?

After signing up with our app, every user can add the public dustbin, public urinals etc. locations.

For every approved site, the user will get credits by which he can buy plants, vermicompost, local crafts and other eco-friendly products from the app.Now from the inputs of these users, the nearest public dustbins locations will be shown and notified to other users who are travelling and are not much familiar with the place when they are in 20m range of a community dustbin. 
Along with this, we give support to poor small vendors who are not well connected with the internet, provide them with a platform and a wide delivery network to earn more minimizing our margins.
It will also help a while for people to buy soil, equipment, seeds, plants, and other related equipment online instead of from local nurseries at the best price, comfortable and easy way. 
This initiative encourages people to be more aware of the environment, helps to sustain their home gardening with ease and uses a true vocal for the local formula that helps marginalized vendors to earn a little more.

What specific problem are you trying to solve?

According to recent statistics, an average American produces eight times more solid waste daily than an average Indian. But, still, the west looks shiny, and the Indian streets look dirty and full of waste.

Every year, thousands of cows and stray animals die due to intestinal choking after eating plastic waste from the streets.
Ever-increasing waste and its unmanaged disposal, lack of mapping of public dustbins, urinals, etc. and littered streets is the main problems.
Passionate beginners at gardening generally face difficulties due to insufficient knowledge of plants and their needs.
Continuously decreasing market of local marginalised vendors and craftsmen of India.

Who does your solution serve? In what ways will the solution impact their lives?

Core to the vision for waste management in India is the use of wastes as resources with increased value extraction, recycling, recovery, and reuse.

Along with this we give support to poor small vendors who are not well connected with internet, provide them a platform and a wide delivery network to earn more minimizing our margins.

This initiative encourages people to be more aware to environment, helps to sustain their home gardening with ease and uses a true vocal for local formula that helps marginalized vendors to earn a little more.

India lacks good companies working in this critical and vast sector as they cannot come up with an innovative solution to organise and market this huge sector properly.

This startup promotes the recycling, segregating and clean and green India principle rather than just dumping, solving waste accumulation, ceasing the spread of diseases, and tourist displeasure.

This startup will also create more jobs, local craftsmen to earn more, improve health, and will increase tourism. And significantly uplift the quality of cleanliness on Indian roads.

What steps have you taken to understand the needs of the population you want to serve?

 Oxon looks to provide people with better options in home-gardening & clay-handicraft proproducts, including product-supply and service providing. It tends to create advanced opportunities for local-vendors & handicraftsmen by providing them with an advanced technology platform. Oxon also seeks to provide a free map for public dustbins, urinals & other sustainable needs to the people.
