@All - the contest ends January 17th at 23:59 (GMT+2) - Please keep on voting as competing project is gaining ground
@Jet Cash - it sounds like you are an expert. i will ask our domain expert to answer this question for you - i will forward it to him and once he replies i will post back here. It is also about plastic btw, plastic is refactored into skateboards (longboards) and sold back to the markets.
@Tey - I will send you a private message
@pawel7777 - thanks will do - i also posted it in the Dutch bitcoin group, i have more result there than here i think as the number of post views is much higher
@pinkie31 - thanks alot

Any votes left ?... who too wants to invest a few minutes and help us ? 
I live in the Hague , and i voted for you guys ! interesting concept.
Lets meet and talk about it more
Did you try reaching out for news outlets ? i could help in this ..
You're the 1st place now....Good luck with your project.
@Jet Cash
I think it would be too expensive for small metal processors and repair services to process (huge amounts of) waste, i think it should be done on a large scale before money can be made from it.
However i don't see how it would reduce the quality of recycling.
Here is a video that explains the concept in English, i hope it makes it more clear, and as you can see it is already happening, but without the financial incentive:

I watched the video, and it seemed to me that the emphasis was on the extraction of precious metals, and other metals were ignored. I noticed that Microwaves appeared to be destined for a frag machine, with no attempt to extract copper transformers or other non-ferrous metals. Cutting the mains cable was referred to as de-polution, but running it through a granulator will yield pure copper granules. Similarly, hard drives can yield a variety of specialist metals such as neodymium magnets. Lumping all of the ferrous metal into one pot means that the main use for the extract is rebars for use in the building industry. Separating light iron, cylinder cast, shearing, and cast allows for a wider variety of uses for the reclaimed product. This separation is expensive in terms of man power, and traditionally it was done by small scrap yards and scrap c0llectors, recent government regulations have forced many of these out of business, and I belive that this is to the detriment of the economy and the environment.
One other point is that local government refuse collection services are funded in part by the sale of rtecovered metal. Removing this from their collections will lead to an increase in their charges. Not much of value goes to landfill these days.

You should post this on r/bitcoin for better exposure + more votes, if you haven't already. You can also try Voat.io (alternative to reddit).
Well ahead now I see, congrats on a neat idea. Voted good luck.

It's amazing ... we have reached second place and hopefully ... are going for the win ... only a few days left ...
And keep voting please 
@Raimonn - thanks alot - really appreciate it!
I voted your project, its good to recycle the lot of waste that can have a second oportunity, repairing them, or recycling its components. And could be good for the crypto economy if you pay them with bitcoins, because new users will join this comunity.
wow a lot of votes coming in ... keep them coming please

This would reduce the quality of recycling/reuse. It is better to allow small scrap metal processors, and repair services to process unwanted electronics, rather than just running them through a frag machine. Family units are better at dismantling things like microwaves for the copper and other metals. It becomes uneconomic if you have to pay staff for the dismantling.
Thanks alot of votes coming in .... we need 400 more to win this baby ... 
@all - thanks a lot for your feedback - i really appreciate it
@odolvlobo - it shouldn't make a difference to the user which coin, except perhaps for practicalities (e.g. with bitcoin you can buy food through thuisbezorgd.nl in the netherlands, with dash i don't think so) - in the end the user gets money - but we have to do research on regulation and whether it will be accepted by municipalities
@aso118 - you are right -to be honest the killer app part was to get your attention :-) but perhaps say killer concept would be more accurate ...
if real economies start using tokens to improve the environment it seems to me one of the best use-cases i can think of -> killer concept
@pawel777 - i've been told the older stuff contains more gold ... however don't pin me down on it ... i am doing it for this project ... so i am not an expert and yes ... send me your atari :-)
@BTCBinary - thanks for your thoughts - interesting
@eternalgloom - thanks for your vote ! appreciate it!
@franky1 - i share with you the critique about some devices containing more gold, such as cellphones ... i shared this with the domain expert today, he is an expert on waste - also, interesting idea's you have there, with grams

The idea behind the project is that people in a municipality are rewarded with the use of a credits system (alternatively a cryptographic token, but more research is needed) for bringing used electronics to the waste yard (the electronics are weighed and then credits are awarded according to the weight). In fact they become shareholder.
If I bring in the electronics waste, how is receiving altcoins or shares better for me than receiving dollars or euros or bitcoins?
The killer app of bitcoin would be an app which takes bitcoin to the masses and has a wide range of uses.
You can't call a specific app (no matter how good it is) the killer app of bitcoin.
