SDG #12 Responsible Consumption and Production Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the oceans from coastal nations. That’s the equivalent of setting five garbage bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the world. Plastics often contain additives making them stronger, more flexible, and durable. Many of these additives can extend the life of products if they become litter, with some estimates ranging to at least 400 years to break down. How might blockchain be used as a part of your solution to reduce plastic waste?
The Challenges from BSIC The general objective of these bounties are to build solutions that solve for one of more of the categories of this incubator: Carbon Footprint, Sustainable Cities, Plastics & Pollution.
Submission Requirements We expect all bounties to be comprised of two distinct parts: product and potential. For the product, we will accept submissions in all formats, including but not limited to wireframes, landing page, prototypes, or production code. For potential, we've outlined information that we expect to see below. It can be delivered in any format, including but not limited to a report, a presentation, or a video. All submissions, including all code, must be open source for future use and reference by the community, and links to external documents must be provided in the Github repo submission.
As these bounties are broad and left up to your own discretion, we expect you to deliver the following items tailored for your specific solution:
We also are looking for participating teams to articulate both broadly and specifically how their proposed solution affects widespread systemic change. A team that delivers a specific solution must show us how this solution can be rolled out more broadly to have a broad impact on the issue at large. Conversely, a team that solves in generalities must describe how they anticipate testing their ideas in specific, measurable experiments.
Submission Deadline All submissions for this bounty must be submitted by 11:59:59 PM EST April 8, 2020.
Judging Criteria We are looking for projects that address a real problem and teams that have shown the progress and entrepreneurial instincts to make something real and get it out in the world. Because this bounty is open-ended and has room for more creative expression, the judging will consider these aspects when selecting a winner. Specific scoring rubric is as follows:
Judging Period and Announcement Date A judging period will be run from April 9 to April 20 and the bounty will be awarded to a winning submission [$6,500 value] and runner up [$1,500 value] on or about Earth Day, April 22, 2020.
Reward The total reward amount for this bounty is [$10,000 value].
