Name
The first virtual coin launched as a reward for the citizens who selectively collect waste and recycle plastic, glass and aluminum packaging
website
country
Romania
Goal
The project involves the joint installation of packaging pick-up and recycling stations, where citizens will be able to deposit recycled aluminum bottles, PETs and cans, and in return will receive virtual coins, CIUGUbani, which can then be used in the community. The money will be used, in the first phase, to reward citizens, especially children who are challenged, by the end of the summer holidays, to recycle as much packaging and collect as many virtual coins as possible.
At the beginning of the new school year, the collected virtual coins will be converted into real money, which the children will be able to use to finance small projects and educational or extracurricular activities.
