Good point Alice. I wonder if the Scrapp Store concept (https://openideo.com/challenge/recycle-challenge/refinement/the-scrapp-store-your-recyclables-turned-in-to-desirable-everyday-objects) could provide 3D blueprints free of charge... as to allow users to print designs with their recycled 3D ink from a library of relevant home-printable products?

Hi team, great video. I love the modular nature of your system; with users able to get as involved as they can, or would like to! (and a special applaud for the rewards 'ping' sound effect in the video. I had visions of pixelated graphics and large gold coins pop in to my head a'la Super Mario =)

I wonder if there is an opportunity to link-up our ideas on your last module; how users can spend rewards at the end of the year. Rather than providing cash, a voucher based approach may encourage the benefit to stay within the ecosystem. A 'store within a store' on the ScrappStore idea (https://openideo.com/challenge/recycle-challenge/refinement/the-scrapp-store-your-recyclables-turned-in-to-desirable-everyday-objects) might allow residents to buy items that their block approve for use; or even products that their residents have made. The rewards could be equally community driven / 'created'..

Shane - thanks for the input too! I mentioned on Kenneth's Recyclometer idea the possibility of developing a platform for recycled products; exactly like your reference to Etsy. Building on Meera's curation point, perhaps it's the 'bringing to market' of the possibilities of recycled products that could be the champion here.

A quick search reveals some 246,350 items available on Etsy with the word 'recycled' but no separate 'recycled' category. I wonder if we could encourage more Etsy users to produce items using recycled materials; for example by convincing a partner like Etsy to lower their final value fees for such items... or partner to create a free sister-site like eBay's Gumtree specifically for recycled items?

Going back to the ScrappStore concept, and to Paul's comments below. Perhaps we shouldn't limit the possibilities of how and what people can 'buy' from the store by way of points. If people wish to purchase recycled items from the store, shouldn't we make it as easy as possible for them to do so? - Perhaps a 'freemium' model might work, whereby incentive points unlock super special rewards for the avid and highly active recycling champion but not alienate new customers?
