(More here: https://imaginize.world/end-plastic-pollution-with-godfrey-ssekiziyivu/) The organization is implementing a zero waste model for local communities and has developed the Kollect app, a technological platform designed to transform how waste is managed. The Kollect app includes recyclers, collectors, waste generators, and green earth campaigners, allowing users to submit waste requests and enabling nearby collectors to pick up materials. The app uses cryptocurrency for payments to facilitate worldwide integration. When a user submits waste, a nearby collector is notified and picks it up; the collector then notifies recyclers with accumulated waste volumes, creating a circular economy model.  IMAGINIZE.WORLD The goal is to shape our future before it shapes us.
