You're In Business

The project addresses a significant problem (circular economy/waste) with a relevant concept (Digital Product Passports via RFID). However, the submission is severely compromised by verifiable lack of online presence (website appears unindexed or inactive), inconsistent naming (BlazeGale vs. Circlolink), and hyperbolic, unsubstantiated claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the audience). Without verifiable evidence of the claimed technology or traction, the score reflects a concept-stage project with significant credibility gaps.

Project Details

Description
The Global Circular Network platform assists businesses in transitioning from linear to "circular-ish" and ultimately to interconnected, inclusive, and profitable circular economy systems. It offers financial, environmental, and social benefits through bulk order collaboration and invites Global Consortium Partnerships. Our B2B solution utilizes RFiD THREADS®, the world's first bulk scanning radio frequency washable thread, which is sewn or slipped into each product and linked to a cloud app. Our B2C tools direct customers to R-cycle networks, the crucial "middle of circularity." These networks facilitate the recovery, resale, rental, repair, redesign, remaking, and repurposing of products before recycling, thereby extending product life and reducing emissions. GCN connects products and supply chains to open-source circularity through innovative reverse logistics value chain connectivity. By integrating human-centered design with smart tech tools, we link people and services while gathering comprehensive LCA data. Brands can enhance loyalty, transparency, and customer education using powerful B2C tools including QR codes and NFC rings. These tools are added by manufacturers, brand owners, and retailers and redirect to R-cycle providers. Bulk scanning distinguishes products, including fibers and hazardous chemicals in bulk lots, to support semi-automated and automated material flows and provide safer feedstocks. We empower R-cyclers to become interconnected, efficient, and financially sustainable with access to instant, free, unfakeable authentication. Brands and retailers can connect to SCM and aggregation systems, as well as collaborative responsibility and impact measurement frameworks. This opens a new era of possibility for digitally connected products, integrating AI, blockchain, IoT, and robotics.
