Service: Waste Sector Data Sharing

Responsible organisation: Gemeente Utrecht (Governmental)

The city of Utrecht is piloting blockchain for 'waste processing'. The city believes apparent that organisation of the waste processing in the blockchain could bring many benefits. Specifically, the way in which waste weight per empty container is registered. In the pilot, the waste weight data is linked to that of the transporters, intermediaries and final processors, and organized via the blockchain. All these parties keep their own administration. Blockchain can contribute to a joint administration that provides absolute certainty about the integrity of the data. Another big advantage is that a number of control moments are automatically controlled via smart contracts. At the same time, we have insight into the entire process from waste container to final processor.
