Dual Stream Engineers — Formulate Hypothesis

Core Hypothesis

“If we combine simple mechanical waste separation with blockchain-verified rewards, we can transform daily waste into community income.”

The 2-in-1 Bin Theory

Layer 1: Propeller Compositing Bin

• Propellers serve as sieve to separate plastics
• Same propellers turn compost for aeration
• Mechanical, no electricity needed

Layer 2: Pyrolysis Unit

• Heats separated plastics (absence of oxygen)
• Converts to synthetic fuel
• Closes the loop on plastic waste

Layer 3: GreenToken Incentives

• 1kg of waste = ≈₦700 (1.33 ADA)
• Turns waste collection into income
• Verified on Cardano blockchain

Testable Prediction

“If community members can earn money for waste, they will actively collect and sort it—solving the separation problem through incentives rather than education.”
