Why Blockchain Verification Matters
In an era of greenwashing scrutiny, self-reported recycling data isn't enough. Blockchain provides the proof stakeholders demand.
The Problem: Greenwashing
- •Companies claim X tons recycled with no proof
- •Investors skeptical of self-reported ESG data
- •Risk of reputation damage if caught
- •External audits cost $50K-$200K annually
The Solution: Blockchain
- ✓Cryptographic proof of every recyclable
- ✓Third-party verifiable without system access
- ✓Immutable records (tamper-proof)
- ✓Reduce audit costs by 60-80%
The Result: Trust
- ✓Investor-grade ESG reporting
- ✓Regulatory compliance (EPA, LEED, EPR)
- ✓Brand protection for CPG companies
- ✓5-10% ESG valuation premium
How Blockchain Verification Works
Simple, automatic, and transparent. Every step of your recycling journey is cryptographically sealed.
Bin-Level Verification
Topper Stopper® smart bins scan and verify each item—rejecting contamination at the source.
Track Sack Creation
Track Sacks tagged at bin removal with QR codes and employee verification.
Transport Monitoring
GPS tracking and driver verification throughout transport to processing plant.
Plant Intake
Final scan completes the verified journey—certificate generated with blockchain proof.
Blockchain VerifiedResult: Immutable chain of custody from bin to plant with cryptographic proof at every step

Frequently Asked Questions
What blockchain do you use?
We use Polygon (Layer 2 Ethereum). It offers low gas fees, high throughput, and 99.9% less energy consumption than Proof-of-Work blockchains. All transactions are viewable on PolygonScan.
Who can verify my blockchain records?
Anyone. Auditors, investors, regulators, or your customers can verify your ESG certificates by checking the blockchain transaction hash on PolygonScan—no special access needed.
Is my data private?
Yes. We use a public blockchain with permissioned access to sensitive details. Transaction hashes are public (for verification), but specific data (facility names, weights, etc.) requires authentication.
How much does blockchain verification cost?
Blockchain verification is included in your ZeroMRF subscription at no extra cost. We cover all gas fees—you just get the benefits of cryptographic proof.
What if the blockchain goes down?
Polygon has 99.9%+ uptime and is backed by a global network of validators. Even if temporary issues occur, data is queued and written once service resumes. Your operational workflows never stop.
Can I use this for carbon credit markets?
Yes! Blockchain-verified carbon savings create high-integrity carbon credits that command premium prices. Our certificates include full chain-of-custody proof required by voluntary carbon registries.
