FAQ
How can we use this for a low-plastic public event in Sharjah?
You can set up a recycling challenge for event visitors. People scan or log their plastic collections, earn rewards, and see their impact. You get data on collected plastic and engagement.
What does the municipality need to provide to start?
You define event dates, locations, and goals. Share your branding and key messages. Provide or confirm collection points and recycling partners. The provider sets up the digital campaign and tracking.
Can we limit the solution to one area like Al Khan?
Yes. The challenge can be geofenced. Only actions done in selected zones, such as Al Khan and nearby streets or beaches, will count for the event campaign.
How are plastic collections verified during the event?
Participants upload photos and basic details. GPS and time are checked. Some entries can be reviewed manually or with spot checks. You can add event staff validation if needed.
What kind of rewards can we offer to residents?
You can offer digital tokens, discount vouchers, public transport perks, or local partner benefits. Rewards can be small but frequent to keep people active during the event.
How do we measure the impact of the event?
You receive dashboards with estimates of collected plastic, number of actions, active users, and basic location data. You can export results for reports and communication.
Can schools and local groups join the same event campaign?
Yes. You can create sub-challenges for schools, youth groups, or community teams. Each group can see its own ranking while still contributing to the main event goal.
Is it possible to link this to a plastic credit or offset claim?
Yes, if you choose. Verified collections from the event can generate plastic credits. These can be used to support plastic footprint reduction or plastic-neutral claims, with traceable records.
