A Vision Unveiled: The Birth of Waste Origin

Our journey had been all about optimizing waste oil collection, making it sustainable and efficient. But there was one adversary we couldn't ignore – fraud.
The waste management industry, a sector already grappling with complex challenges, was plagued by fraudulent activities. Data manipulation within centralized databases was tarnishing certifications and eroding trust within the industry. It is a problem that couldn't be brushed under the rug.
Initially, our vision was modest – to build a solution exclusively for
Waste Oil Network

, a guardian that would protect our operations and data from the clutches of fraud. But as I delved deeper, I began to see a grander purpose for our creation.
Waste Origin was not just about us, it was about an entire industry. It was about empowering countless organizations worldwide, each facing the same trust deficit in their waste management endeavors. The potential was enormous. This isn´t just a solution, it´s a transformative force.
The realization struck me – Waste Origin could become the bridge to a new era in waste management.
With Waste Origin, we are not just launching a project; we will be leading a movement. Our aim is to revolutionize an entire industry, leaving behind a legacy of trust, transparency, and confidence in waste management.

Explanation of Waste Categories in Waste Origin

In our endeavor to tackle waste management challenges and ensure transparency, Waste Origin employs a comprehensive system for categorizing waste. Our system is designed to align with international standards and regulations, facilitating the accurate reporting and handling of various waste types. Below, we provide a breakdown of our waste categories, including essential details for understanding and classifying waste streams:
Key Elements of Waste Categories:
Code: Each waste category is assigned a unique EWC-Stat code for precise identification.
Description: This is the name of the waste category according to our classifications.
Specification: We provide detailed descriptions of each waste category, covering its chemical and physical characteristics, properties, main sources (including technical processes and industrial branches), and information on potentially hazardous components within the waste stream.
Includes: This section outlines additional waste types that are included within a specific category, even if they might not be immediately expected. For example, the "used oils" category might also encompass certain emulsions.
Source Branches: We specify the major source branches for each waste category, utilizing terminology according to Low and the NACE rev. 2 definitions. Source branches represent the primary origins of the waste, though it's important to note that in some cases, other branches may also contribute to the waste stream.
Excludes: Here, we detail waste types that could be expected to fall within a specific category but are explicitly excluded. We also provide information about the waste category that encompasses these excluded types.
Table of Equivalence: We include an extract from the transposition table found in Annex III of the WasteStat Regulations (WStatR) for each respective waste category. This table serves as a reference for aligning waste types correctly with their designated waste categories.
By employing these well-defined waste categories and their associated information, Waste Origin ensures that waste is accurately classified and managed in accordance with regulatory requirements. This comprehensive approach contributes to our overarching goal of transparency, efficiency, and trust in waste management practices. ​

Integrating Compliance into Waste Origin: The Foundation for NFT Minting Requests

At Waste Origin, we are committed to building a platform that not only revolutionizes waste management but also ensures compliance with the List of Wastes (LoW) classification standards. This commitment to compliance serves as the bedrock for all NFT minting requests within our platform.
Why Compliance Matters:
Reliable Data: Compliance with LoW standards ensures that the data we handle is reliable and comparable, providing our users with accurate waste information.
Transparency: By following standardized classification procedures, we promote transparency within the waste management industry, mitigating the risks of data manipulation and fraud.
Trust: Compliance instills trust in our platform and the NFTs we generate, as users can be confident in the accuracy and integrity of the data associated with each NFT.
Industry Standard: We are setting a new industry standard by integrating compliance into our platform, contributing to the overall improvement of waste management practices.

⁠

Beyond the Surface: More than Just an NFT Minting Template – A Focus on Compliance

While at first glance, Waste Origin may appear to be primarily a platform for NFT minting, it is, in fact, much deeper and more intricate. Our dedication to compliance means that we invest extensive hours and resources into ensuring that every NFT minted through our platform is not only a token of value but a testament to integrity and trust within the waste management industry.
The Code Behind NFT Minting Requests
Compliance isn't just a buzzword for us, It's what we code into every request for minting an NFT on our platform. Here's how compliance becomes an integral part of our coding process
1. Classification Algorithm: At the core of our coding efforts lies a classification algorithm that mirrors the meticulous procedure outlined in the List of Wastes (LoW) guidelines. This algorithm acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that any waste data seeking NFT status adheres to the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.
2. Error-Proof Data Handling: Compliance in coding means creating error-proof data handling processes. Our developers build in checks and balances to guarantee that the data associated with each NFT request undergoes rigorous validation, eliminating the possibility of inaccuracies.
