FAQ
What is this recycling rewards app and who is it for?
It is a mobile app that rewards people for recycling and reducing plastic waste. It is useful for students, teachers, families, and anyone who wants to build greener habits in Dubai, Sharjah, and other UAE cities.
How do students earn rewards for recycling?
Students take photos of their plastic waste before dropping it at a collection point, then upload it in the app. After simple checks, they receive digital Eco Rewards tokens as a thank‑you for their action.
Can I use the app with my school in Sharjah or Dubai?
Yes. Schools can run eco-missions and class challenges. You can create groups, invite students, and track how much plastic they collect as an example of a school sustainability project.
What are Eco Rewards tokens and what can students do with them?
Eco Rewards tokens are digital points earned for eco-actions. Students can use them to join challenges, unlock in-app benefits, or redeem partner rewards when available, such as discounts or vouchers, as an example.
How does the app verify that plastic was really recycled?
The app uses photos, basic data on the items, and the location of the collection point. In some cases, partners or event organizers can also confirm collections during clean-ups or school campaigns.
Can businesses or schools run their own recycling challenges?
Yes. Organizations can set up custom eco-missions, like “collect an example 500 bottles in a month,” add their logo, choose rewards, and then view simple dashboards with participation and impact estimates.
What is the Plastic Credit program and how could I explain it to students?
Plastic Credits are digital certificates that show a certain estimated amount of plastic was collected and treated. People or companies can buy them to balance their own plastic use and support clean-up projects.
Is the app only for plastic or also for other waste types?
The main focus is plastic packaging and bottles. In some projects, the same technology can be adapted to other materials, like cans or paper, if local partners and collection points are available.
