Category	Score	Reason
Complexity	7	Complex IT/OT integration, data standardization, hardware deployment, and compliance mapping across different EU states.
Profitability	8	Subscription model with high margins, strong regulatory driver, and potential for compliance/sustainability upsell.
Speed to Market	6	Pilot-to-scale deployments may take 9-18 months per client due to integration loops and regulatory onboarding.
Income Potential	8	Large operators have both budget and incentive; contract values potentially €100K-€500K/year/operator.
Innovation Level	8	Granular real-time feedstock traceability is rare; combining IoT, blockchain, and analytics is a leading-edge proposition.
Scalability	7	Platform architecture can scale, but on-the-ground integration/hardware scaling may slow growth in fragmented markets.

How It Could Work

EcoTrace utilizes IoT sensors at the collection points and blockchain technology to establish a secure, tamper-proof record of each batch of waste from collection to processing.
IoT sensors capture data such as weight, composition, and source at the origin, uploading this information to the blockchain for an immutable record that all stakeholders can access.
Blockchain not only secures the integrity of the data but also allows seamless integration across different systems via API, facilitating interoperability among collectors, aggregators, and plant operators.
This system provides real-time analytics, compliance reporting, and predictive insights to optimize processing and logistics.

Value Proposition

EcoTrace offers unparalleled traceability and transparency, ensuring compliance with stringent regulations and enabling process optimization for diverse waste streams.
The blockchain aspect ensures data integrity and trust across the entire supply chain.

Use Cases

Waste-to-energy plants; Municipal waste management; Industrial waste recycling; Sustainable supply chains; Environmental compliance reporting

Early Proof Points

Pilot with leading Eurozone waste-to-energy plant; API integrations with existing waste management systems; Demonstrations of real-time traceability in pilot projects

Business & Technical Feasibility

While blockchain and IoT are mature technologies, their application to waste management requires custom integration and standardization efforts.
The main hurdles include ensuring interoperability with existing systems and gaining stakeholder buy-in across the supply chain.

Open Questions or Next Steps

Determine the specific data standards required for integration between disparate waste collection systems.; Assess potential regulatory risks associated with real-time data access and sharing.; Conduct pilot with a major EU waste-to-energy operator to validate the system's efficacy.; Evaluate cost implications of deploying IoT sensors at scale.
