Project Description


Like the saying,“One business’s trash is another business's treasure”
What if we can help connect those businesses?

XChange is an app and a plaza that connects enterprises and businesses to exchange each other’s recycled goods and earn crypto tokens doing it!

Through open data, precinct locations have been determined for the best optimisation with many factors mainly based on business types.

XChange’s plaza is a place where businesses come together to exchange recycled materials with one another. The recycled material would be sorted at the plaza, when it ready, it notifies the other business via the app for collection so they may re-use it.

Why would businesses collect recycled material or give them?
Enterprises will save money on the low-cost product production costs for raw materials, it will also be more convenient for them as of how close the plaza is thanks to the help of open data determing the area.
Businesses will save money on waste management costs, at the same time they save our environment! It's a Win! Win! Win! Win!

But that’s not all! Everytime an enterprise collects recycled goods or a business gives their recycle waste, they will be thanked for their contribution to their eco-friendly ways, they will level up on the app and be recognised to the public of their actions and also be given an xChange Crypto token, these tokens could be used to exchange for free collect/transport services from us!

Use XChange!, Let’s make a change and exchange!

Data Story


The use of open data is used to determine the most optimal location for the best areas for XChange’s plaza in Adelaide's Precinct.

  • This is used to show mapping plans, to rule out all out of the residential areas and to find the businesses/industry areas

  • Precincts locations, boundaries and restrictions of builds.

  • Plumbing, pipe lines and how easily accessible the location is.

  • The general population around the area, are there other businesses or residential only?

  • Lastly to locate where all the businesses/industries are located in Adelaide, the type of industry they are in, and their main category of recyclable waste.

All of these factors are then used to determine the most optimal precinct area to build XChange’s plaza.
