IPFS and recycling to build a greener future
summary
GAIA runs a marketplace that matches user e‑waste (headphones to refrigerators) with specialized recyclers, records signed donation terms and delivery confirmations, bundles proof documents on IPFS via CO2.storage to mint ERC‑721 recycling and carbon credits on Ethereum, and exposes CIDs through an API. A pilot yields 30+ tons collected in one Brazilian city, storage costs drop ~99%, users get rewards, and a partnership targets 50 million kg in two years.
