Fighting the plastic crisis / Social and environmental impact / Empowering plastic cleanup organisations
What do you think... did we got into the finals of European Blockchain Convention yes or no? Alvaro B. and I were are at the #EBC10 with Universal Plastic® because we were selected for the Pitch Battle against 50 other startups. And I can say with a big smile that we passed to the finals 🌊 Today I may share the stage with five other amazing startups! I will defend the category ReFi and Social Impact. Many times blockchain is associated with cryptocurrency or gaming. At UP, we recognize blockchain's potential in data verification, using this technology to empower our actions and ensure transparency. Specifically, we use it to demonstrate how companies contribute to ocean regeneration by financially supporting beach cleanups through our app. Our users, known as Ocean Defenders, create Ocean Notarised Digital Assets (#ONDAs) representing the plastic waste they collect, which companies can purchase to actively support the fight against the plastic crisis. We see blockchain as a technology to drive tangible, positive social impact for our planet. It was amazing and insightful to talk with Peter Gratwick, Mahsa Doorfard, Dima Foremnyi 🇺🇦, Sory DIAKHITE, Tommy Doyle, Angélica L. and more! #plasticcrisis #blockchainforGood #oceanregeneration #becomeBlue #CSRcampaigns 📸 : Andrzej Witek
