 WHY
Ever since the ?
pandemic has started there
have been a lot of challenges occurred.
Solid waste is one of it, you may wonder
why but the answer to that question is
very simple even though there’s a
total lockdown happened it doesn’t mean
it would lessen nor solve the problem of
solid waste. A staggering 2.7 million tons of
plastic are generated in the
Philippines each year, and an
estimated 20 percent ends up in the ocean.
In order to mitigate the problem of
massive amount of solid waste that’s being
thrown not just on the ocean but in order
water bodies in the country. We present to
you the WASTEMINING APP, the goal of
this app is to encourage the people to
collect waste in exchange for
“Incentive Card” that can be used to
purchase basic necessities.
 HOW
The ? Card” itself
“Incentive once you
received it will at least 150 per
waste tokens per waste. Those
tokens can be used to purchased
basic necessities. The machines
that generates receipt along with
the Incentive Card are most likely
can be found in areas where
people can easily find it. This
project doesn’t have a particular target
but since the machines are all over
the street it would most likely
benefits the people who are
homeless. Additionally the machines
are eco-friendly , it’s easy to use
since we put guidelines that is
readable and easy to understand.

• Some people seen not guilty for throwing waste

• Others feel responsible for their wrong doing.
• Not able to access proper area for waste disposal.
• People feel mad because they are not visited by
garbage collectors
THINKS
• They are worried about what might happen in the future if
the waste are not disposed properly.
• Does not know where to dispose their garbage.
• How to lessen waste and mitigate global
concerns.

• Point-of-View Statement
Citizen around in our own premises needs to combat the increasing
number of waste or garbage disposal because of the indiscipline and
poor waste management.

• How Might We Questions

• How might we design a product that help the consumers encourage to dispose their
waste properly.
• How might we design a product that helps the number of
waste disposals to be lessen.
• How might we design a product that earn them something in return
in just collecting garbage disposals.

taken by the garbage collector team, a WasteToken is being given in their account if their transaction
within that day is being accomplished. Moreover, the token that a certain person gathered can be
converted into something useful in the token exchange area. This consist of basic necessities that would be
useful to everyone.
 This is a WASTE MINING RVM or what we call as Waste Mining reverse vending machine that
segregates and collects waste in exchange of tokens that can be used to buy foods or needs. This
encourages people to collect trashes that are visible in the area or even their own trashes if they needed
to. These will be a strategic solution that leads to be one of the keys of ensuring sustainability in a
community. In the Philippines lots of waste materials such as plastic, glass bottles and cans being
thrown away everywhere that leads to clogged drainage that might lead to flooding. It can also be
available thru apps or incentive cards which can be accessible not only in the city but also in some
areas that doesn’t use smartphones. This RVM will be run by Artificial Intelligence that uses QR code
system which will be available also in the apps and incentive cards. The main functions of the
machines are presented above.

 Touch Screen so that the user can interact with the AI and record there status regarding the number of
their collections and the equivalent token they gain.
 QR Code Scanner is a direct access to your account when you scan it using your QR code provided
by the app you use or the incentive card.
 Sorting Section these are holes in the machine where you put the specific waste materials into the machine.
 Storage Section is where the garbage collection that will easily collect the segregated waste materials
in the machines

With this we will be able to attain sustainability in our country and also improve ourselves and the community.
BENEF
IT
Waste Mining serves its purpose in environmental waste management it lessens waste, encourages people to throw
their garbage properly and promotes sustainability.
Stakeholders are: local government, non-governmental organizations, communities, businesses
and many more.

CATEGORY
The concept is applicable to today's fast-paced word where every single waste or a bag of waste will be
converted into an incentive card which people can use it by buying basic necessities. In this way, we can
encourage people to always avoid throwing garbage anywhere and practice segregation so they can also be able to
donate or volunteer in local Coastal clean- ups.
COMPETITIO
N
Environmental waste is one of the world’s leading problems so it’s not a surprise if there are already companies and
organizations that combats environmental waste and even recycles the recyclable to lessen industrial
resources.

Competitors are: Ech20 Corporation; Hmr Envirocycle Phils., Inc.; Avanco Internacional Corp.; Jimenez
Security Agency; Aliron and many more.

DIFFERENTIATOR
The app encourages users to collect and segregate trash, and translate it into app tokens which
can then be exchanged for goods and products.

Cost Benefits Analysis
How to do a cost-benefit analysis
Step 1: Understand the cost of maintaining the status
quo
Step 2: Identify costs
• Upfront costs
• Unexpected costs
• Tangible costs
• Intangible costs
• Ongoing or future costs
• Any potential risks that may have a cost
Cost Benefits Analysis
Step 3: Identify benefits
• What additional revenue will come in from the investment?
• What is the return on investment? Define what the ROI means to
your company—maybe you measure ROI by revenue, efficiency,
or market share. However you define it, list the benefits associated
with ROI.
• Determine how far into the future you should look to identify long-
term benefits. If you look too far, the less confident you can be
about potential benefits. For example, if you expect long-term
benefits from a new computer system, rapidly changing
technology could mess up your plans.
Cost Benefits Analysis
Step 4: Assign a monetary value to the costs and benefits
• How many people will be needed to complete the project?
• Will you need to hire new people?
• How much new equipment will be needed?
• Does existing equipment need to be replaced?
• Will training be involved? How much time will be lost to training?
Cost Benefits Analysis
Step 5: Create a timeline for expected costs and revenue
Cost Benefits Analysis
Step 6: Compare costs and benefits
Calculate your total costs and your total benefits based on the lists you’ve made. Be sure to use the
same currency for all of your calculations. Comparing the two values lets you determine whether the
benefits outweigh the costs.
• Inflation
The purchasing power of a dollar will be less in one year than it is today
• Lost return on investment
In spending money now to fund your project, you will lose potential income from interest if you were
to invest the money instead.
• Discount rate
This rate represents the future value of today’s currency considering the effects of inflation and the
lost return on investment.
• Payback period
The payback period defines how long it will take to reach your breakeven point when the benefits
have repaid the costs. To calculate the payback time, divide the projected total cost by the projected
total revenues.
Total cost ÷ revenue (benefits) = payback time
