ASGARD creates an effective motivation system for people who are passionate about the environment in finding hidden environmental crimes (such as illegal dump sites) and voting for their liquidation. Members of ASGARD get a reward in ASG tokens for every contribution they make.
ASGARD raises awareness about the true extent of the danger resulting from plastic pollution and contributes to finding solutions to the problem of air and water pollution and soil contamination caused by decomposing plastic wastes. According to ASGARD team, up to 45% of domestic solid waste remains out of the official statistics worldwide. In other words, almost half of the waste produced by humans is not declared and ends up on illegal dumpsites, in the oceans and so on. ASGARD ECO FUND offers an alternative tool for crypto funding environmentally oriented projects and solutions aimed at the collection of polymer wastes and processing them into industrial goods. ASGARD claims that it will lead to 7-9% annual reduction in the volume of undeclared polymer wastes.
Part of ASGARD team has been involved in waste management business for decades. The founder of the fund, Oleg Zhokhov, has a 30-year experience in the environmental business. Due to this fact, the team is able to reasonably analyze which solutions meet all the requirements and are the most effective and reliable in terms of preserving the environment.
ASGARD Blockchain
ASGARD ECO FUND is based on socio-environmental Blockchain platform which will give all the inhabitants of the Earth an opportunity to participate in the elimination of ecological crimes. ASGARD creates a community of reasonably-thinking people who realize the necessity of taking action regarding saving our planet from an ecological disaster. Members of the community will be able to get ASG tokens in exchange for media materials featuring existing environmental crimes. All the photos and videos will be uploaded on the Blockchain platform in order to create an interactive map showing the real ecological situation on the planet to the public. Apart from that, it will make the process of elimination of environmental damage easier for environmentally oriented companies. Blockchain guarantees that all the information received by the platform cannot be changed or deleted. ASGARD ECO FUND is decentralized, meaning that only the members of the fund will decide which projects or programs will be funded by simply voting on the platform. It excludes the possibility of assets manipulation within the fund as all the financial streams are transparent and automatically controlled by smart contract.

According to the roadmap, ASGARD ECO FUND plans to issue crypto loans aiming the launch of effective model projects: ASG RECYCLING, ASG NEPTUNE, and ASG OCEAN. The purpose of ASG RECYCLING is the launch of recycling plants processing plastic waste into valuable goods. As ASG RECYCLING is a model project, the team already has an effective solution based on the team’s experience. ASG NEPTUNE is designed to clean rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans from floating plastic using existing effective technologies. Finally, ASG OCEAN is the most ambitious project of ASGARD ECO FUND that involves the launch of green floating platforms in the ocean for collecting polymer waste and its further processing and conversion into valuable goods. ASGARD ECO FUND can significantly contribute to solving the global problem of ocean plastic pollution which is one of the major environmental issues nowadays. The projects of the fund are not limited by the ones mentioned above, ASGARD will provide funding for fixing various environmental problems worldwide.
