Mobile
Your record of
doing the right thing.
The app is the memory of the network. It knows what you returned, where, what it was worth, and who you are beating this week.
Surfaces
Six things, done properly.
- Identity
- One QR code that works at every station, gate, cleanup and partner venue.
- Wallet
- A live balance with a full ledger behind it. Every entry names the action that earned it.
- Streaks
- Consecutive weeks of returns, protected by a grace day, because punishing a missed week loses the user.
- Standing
- Seasonal tiers that unlock multipliers, early access and sponsor rewards.
- Leagues
- Friends, workplaces, campuses and neighbourhoods ranked weekly.
- Impact
- Material returned, emissions avoided and the method used to calculate both.
Design rules
Never make the user feel like they took out the bin.
The number moves
Value counts up with weight and settles. Confirmation is a moment, not a toast.
Progress is always visible
Every screen answers: how close am I to the next thing?
Nothing is called recycling
The language is earning, returning, unlocking and standing.
One tap to the next action
The nearest station, the live event, the friend who just passed you.
Access
A first return should never require an install.
Scan, return, and the value is held against the code. The account is claimed afterwards. Friction at the first interaction is the single largest cause of drop-off in return networks, so it is removed entirely.
