In the first version of the fortunate planet application we’re changing the global waste management.
The platform empowers communities to contribute where to dispose waste correctly, add new disposal stations and track their waste disposals to improve the way we manage waste around the globe.
By harnessing the power of community, the fortunate planet can create a world where recycling rates will constantly rise.”
