【Abstract】Currently, human activity has a substantial impact on the environment, and we are responsible for determining what it will look like in a few or a dozen decades. Numerous IT solutions are being developed to reduce the negative influence on the environment. In particular, the main problem is the amount of plastic found in circulation and its recycling. Unfortunately, only few solutions exist that, on the one hand, support the reuse of the raw material and, on the other hand, give tangible benefits to users. In this work, we present a blockchain-based system for monitoring the recycling process of plastic bottles. The solution was described by technical, social, and performance characteristics. It should be emphasized that the adopted features of the new blockchain, such as a simplified code or complete decentralization, distinguish the solution from those currently created. Moreover, performance and fraud detection tests were performed. The results present that the solution for a PoW difficulty level of 3 still achieves decent times when generating a block with transactions (from the point of view of the recycling process). In addition, fraud detection tests have proven the ability to detect forged transactions. The outcomes from performed experiments show that the proposed concept can be used as an efficient and fraud-resilient solution in the case of the plastic recycling process.
