PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Efficient waste management and recycling remain a significant challenge worldwide. Finding recyclable/reusable materials for purchase and motivating sellers to participate in recycling efforts are persistent issues. There is a lack of transparency and incentives to drive recycling participation effectively. These challenges hinder progress in mitigating climate change and achieving sustainable carbon reduction goals.

SOLUTION OVERVIEW:
Usedy is a decentralised marketplace application designed to incentivise and empower individuals, recyclable/reuseable material sellers, recyclable/reuseable centres, companies, and other buyers to participate actively in sustainable waste management and recycling efforts. By leveraging blockchain technology, Usedy connects sellers offering recyclable/reusable materials with buyers in a transparent and rewarding ecosystem. Sellers list their recyclable/reuseable materials/products while the buyers make purchases of these recyclable/reuseable products using blockchain The users (the sellers and buyers) are rewarded with a usedy token in the form of usedy points, which upon accumulation to a certain amount can be exchanged for a valuable token and used to purchase eco-friendly products, services, or carbon offset certificates.
Product Goals:

1. Enable users' product listing and purchases through the secure blockchain network.
