What are you going to do with old electronic components and asic miners? As they are surely no more functional. Your city doesn't already recycle thoses components? I don't think that a new coin is needed. Except if when you buy an electronic product, you have to pay indirectly for the recycling of the product. And when you drop it at a recycle company, they give you back some coins in exchange. But can this idea be implemented? The country needs to accept cryptocurrencies first before this project can start to work.
Yes, can be implemented: WEEE is waste of electric and electronic equipement.
I will briefly explain how the cycle works:
The industrial process of WEEE recycling foresees special machines that in a few seconds disintegrate and separate the various components of the WEEE. In the recovery of materials all electronic waste is not used, the recycling chains see two large categories of WEEE, on the one hand there is electronic waste with display, lights, LCD and cathode ray glasses (TV, monitor, smartphone ...) and by 'there are other WEEE without lighting bodies (refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, drills ...), from the latter waste materials such as iron, steel, chromium, manganese, aluminum, tin, cables, copper are recovered different types of plastics. Materials such as motors and motor shafts, electronic cards, batteries and capacitors are recovered from electronic waste.
The recycling of WEEE also allows the recovery of valuable materials: for every tonne of recycled WEEE it is estimated a recovery of gold ranging from 100 to 250 grams, up to 750 grams of silver, 75 grams of palladium and 40 to 120 kg of copper. In these terms, electronic waste (disused computers, obsolete military equipment, non-functioning electro-medical equipment and discarded electronics), represent a real gold mine for those who are able to carry out efficient and fast extraction.
n the industrial scenario there is no lack of machines that represent real assembly lines ... indeed, “dismantling”: the raee suffer different disintegration processes at the end of which, at least 80 per cent of the “finished product” can be again marketed and face a second life cycle.
resume:
you pay to dispose of your electrical, electronic devicean industry collects and reuses what is your reselling. Gold, palladium etc.
My idea is to
associate a cryptocurrency with each device, with the value, at least in part, of the recycled material (for example, we recover a gram of gold that is worth $ 30, I must have at least $ 15 in cryptocurrency)
