Inventor's story

Nadeera’s Yalla Return is a digital platform that offers points and cash rewards to users who properly sort their waste while utilizing an IoT tracing and verification system that provides users with educational feedback and financial incentives. The ability to reduce, reuse, and sort waste, helps instill circular economy practices and enables municipalities to reduce their waste management costs, recover value from waste, and alleviate health and environmental issues due to waste mismanagement. Yalla Return has 50 deposit centers already deployed – units are designed and manufactured in the UAE.
