3WM: Protecting the Earth with the power of the Blockchain Technology

Environmental Pollution is one of the most serious challenges the Earth is facing currently. It's effects are so bad that if left unchecked, could be very detrimental to humans and other life forms on earth.

As defined by ScienceDirect,

Environmental pollution is defined as "the contamination of the physical and biological components of the earth/atmosphere system to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected.”

It is a global problem that is common to both developed and developing countries, and it has caused a serious decline in the quality of our environment evidenced by loss of vegetation, biological diversity, presence of massive amounts of chemicals in our atmosphere and foods, and a high risk of environmental accidents and threat to systems supporting life.

One of the most common causes of Pollution is improper disposal of solid waste and chemicals. Most of these waste are disposed of indiscriminately within the surroundings and they are usually in the forms of plastics, papers, nylons, garbage, and many others.

There are numerous systems placed in check to try and combat environmental Pollution, but a unique project backed by the blockchain technology has come into play to try and minimize the impact of pollution and it's called the 3WM.

What is 3WM

The 3WM project is a unique project, first of its kind, that aims to tackle the menace of Environmental Pollution so as to preserve the vitality of the Earth. It makes use of blockchain technology to power most of the industrial methods of handling waste disposal, conversion into bio-energy and water treatment. It's major components will include

• Waste-to-Bioenergy plants network - conversion of our daily waste into bio-energy(biofuel, fertilizer, biogas, and heat)
• Plastic-to-Bioenergy plants network - conversion of non-recyclable plastics to bioenergy
• Eco Tech Center (ETC) - a hub that integrates all the numerous partners and stakeholders that aim to tackle the issue of pollution and waste disposal as well as innovate technologies. Examples include water treatment facilities, recycling plants, solar system companies and many others.

Therefore the project is very Eco friendly as it gives back to the environment and with the blockchain technology it will be able to make people see proper waste disposal as a financial value. Individuals, industries and the government will be given the chance to earn as they utilize this services for waste collection and it's proper disposal.

How does blockchain technology improve upon the 3WM?

The blockchain technology enhances the platform and makes it unique by

• Providing a rewarding model that rewards all the participants of the system
• Provision of a unique token that will be used for all internal transactions on the platform
• Its transparent and free from fraud
• Has a quality assurance model that ensures that all the 3WM products are aligned with ecological standards

Other solutions being offered by the 3WM include

• The creation of a necessary waste decontamination cycle
• Providing access of water to remote locations
• Provision of a global network that connects 10 eco-tech based centers
• Creation of direct and indirect job opportunities through a local socio-economic value chain process
• Conversion of waste and other pollutants to bio-energy and related products

The 3WM will be a united floor for numerous organizations that have common interests in waste management and processing and the 3WM ETC centre will be a place that will allow for collaborations, extensive research, development and disbursement of products to the general community. Presently there is an ETC center in France and other centers are currently being developed in other parts of the world.

Another amazing feature of the 3WM technology is the PoEA reward dispensing system that allows for distribution of rewards to users based on their level of contribution in the 3WM processes. With its native token, it will allow for an easier approach for the tracking of operations as well as ensuring proper payments.

The 3WM token

This is an ERC-20 token based on the ethereum blockchain technology and it has a ticker of 3WM. This token will be used for all internalized transactions on the platform and for rewarding all participants within the platform. This token can be used by individuals and organizations that wish to purchase or rent 3WM products and services, water and solar services, or can be held to become a valid stakeholder within the platform.

Currently there is an IEO being held on Biconomy and the funds from the token sale will be used to enable the following objectives

• Creation of Plastic to Bioenery and Waste to Bio-energy plants
• Creation of important eco-techs
• Creation of Eco Tech Intelligence Centers (ETC)
• Creation of the 3WM Platform that will allow for the exchange of products, services, incentivizing users Eco Actions and Eco Innovations
• Acquiring partner structures
• Developing new technology and ideas
• Global marketing and promotions
• General distribution of products and services

Final Thoughts: Will the Introduction of the 3WM be a game changer to the world?

Yes, the 3WM Platform will bring about a massive change to the way users and organizations handle waste management and as such there will be less pollutants in our environment as well as provision of Bioenergy, water as well an effective waste management process. Thus the earth will be saved from an impending Doom.
