The EcoSynergy System proposes a platform of common interest that brings together experts, companies, ecologists and developers to implement a new circular economy model.
In this model, platform members hand in any type of clean raw materials from packaging owned by individuals, service activities and industry to the EcoSynergy system. These materials are suitable for direct use in industries with a minimal environmental impact, and are monetised in the ECOSS environmental blockchain algorithm.
The ECOSS environmental blockchain algorithm rewards members through economic incentives by enabling them to access food and non-food products directly at production/factory prices.
