The "seekers" will earn points by taking photos of where there are a lot of cigarettes - for people who don't want to collect them directly. We will recycle these cigarettes into everyday items - pens etc. And sell them to average people for an inflated price as "bio" products. The "collectors" and "seekers" can buy these products with the points earned or they can withdrawl money from the service after they reach a certain point.

Sofa for Life

Sofa for Life wrote: Walking around in glasgow i was shocked to see the amount of flytipped sofas on the streets. Talking to users i found that this decreased lifetime is caused by an inability to clean, transport or repair sofas easily.

The user customizes the sofa online and continues to adapt the sofa to accommodate their change of style or life situation. The sofa fits in the boot of a car and the simple assembly does not require any tools. The cushions are machine washable and each part of the sofa can be exchanged and updated. The ‘sofa for life’ changes with the user and therefore prevents discard. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
