DescriptionNAZZAF Is an Uber business model that aims to convert trash to cash. We are making the community participate in the action.
Problem: Everyday tons of plastic waste are being dumped all around the world and the industrial needs for reusing these plastics instead of introducing new waste are also on the rise. However, the process of collecting and distributing recyclable plastics has been and remains a great challenge. Here in Egypt, no separation is done from consumers and then recyclable plastics end up mixed with all types of garbage which adds to the hardships of collecting plastics. On another note, thanks to the environmental agencies promoting the environmental importance of recycling, people are becoming more aware of the problem. However, it is not always obvious to them how they can get involved in the cycle.
Solution: NAZZAF offers an integrated cycle starting from households, retailers, hotels ... etc reaching to companies & startups aiming to recycle plastics in mass amounts. NAZZAF achieves this through scaling down the process to individual users.
A NAZZAF collecter ( captain ) has a database of available collectibles around his area and through a straightforward interface can collect and earn points. This enables collection from the source to avoid uncollected plastics with regular waste. NAZZAF incentives the sources and collectors by giving them points (gamification) which are funded from the industries at the end of the process.
Why our solution is unique?
We are providing a new incentive for householders to separate their waste. Instead of paying people to collect them, They will be paid.
We are also offering new incentives and jobs for people who collect the plastic waste. So It's a win-win situation for both householders and collectors.
