Responsible disposal is poorly rewarded
A person’s effort at the point of disposal can remain invisible. Without appropriate attribution and checks, it is difficult to recognise the behaviour responsibly.
Working prototype · Reviewed 9 September 2026
Make responsible action visible—and connect it to a wider cycle.
Chokro is a cross-platform prototype designed to make responsible disposal and other eco-actions visible and rewarding, while exploring a marketplace pathway for small eco-conscious sellers.

Current public status
Working prototype. Android, iOS, and web code exists; public availability, native app links, and browser QR entry remain subject to production-release verification.
The problem
Two gaps that can reinforce each other.
The prototype explores one participation cycle rather than treating disposal and local enterprise as unrelated experiences.
Small eco-conscious sellers lack a dedicated pathway
Makers can depend on fragmented channels and carry little portable context. The prototype explores a more relevant route without claiming an active seller base or certified products.
What exists in the prototype
A traceable route from action to review.
The codebase contains product journeys across Android, iOS, and web. This describes implemented prototype capability—not public availability, verified operations, or measured impact.
Working prototype
One cycle, multiple actions- Take an eco-actionFollow the relevant evidence path
- Review responsiblyAutomated checks where suitable; people for uncertainty
- Connect the valueInternal rewards, prototype marketplace, and initiative categories
Evidence proportionate to the reward path
A bin link or QR entry can lead to a submission using a photograph, location, duplicate checks, time or rate limits, and automated screening. Uncertainty routes to a person rather than directly to a reward.
A different route with a different assurance level
Self-reported eco-actions do not use a registered bin or geofence. They are always reviewed by a person, so the interface and public explanation must never imply the same verification as a bin submission.
Points with a recorded source
The prototype uses a server-controlled ledger so the client cannot award itself points. Points are internal rewards—not money—and contribution categories remain distinct from evidence that field work occurred.
A possible path toward local enterprise
Prototype software includes listings, discovery, cart, and checkout journeys. Payment screens simulate bKash, Nagad, and card flows; they collect no payment credentials and move no real money.
Assurance boundaries
Similar action cards do not mean identical evidence.
The clearest product explanation is explicit about what each route checks, what a device can prove, and when a person makes the decision.
| Question | Registered-bin disposal | Self-reported eco-action |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Registered bin link or QR path | Selected action submitted without a bin |
| Evidence checks | Photo, location, duplicate, time or rate limit, and automated screening | Submitted context reviewed by a person; no geofence |
| Decision | Clear mechanical checks may support an automated result; uncertainty goes to human review | Always human reviewed |
| Camera boundary | Native use requires a new camera capture; a browser file chooser cannot prove the selected image is fresh | Evidence expectations depend on the action and review rule |
| What approval supports | A prototype reward decision and evidence of collection under the route | A prototype reward decision for the reviewed action |
| What it does not prove | Recycling, regulatory compliance, a defensible weight without verified mass, or an environmental outcome | Independent certification, causation, or an environmental outcome |
The table scrolls horizontally only if a narrow screen cannot preserve the genuinely two-dimensional comparison.
Product roles
Three interface roles, with clear limits.
These labels describe roles inside the Chokro prototype. They do not establish affiliation with the 3ZERO organisation or movement, and public use still requires permission and trademark review.
3ZERO Champion
Uses participant journeys such as bin entry, reviewed eco-actions, the prototype marketplace, internal points, and initiative contribution categories.
3ZERO Greenpreneur
Uses prototype seller journeys in addition to participant access. Approval is a platform role, not independent environmental certification.
3ZERO Admin
Reviews uncertain submissions and manages prototype operations through trusted controls. The label does not imply outside endorsement.
EPR boundary
Evidence in development—not a compliance verdict.
Chokro is currently an evidence and reporting provider in development. It must not be described as Department of Environment approved, an accredited Producer Responsibility Organisation, legally sufficient for EPR compliance, or operating at production scale without documentary evidence and legal approval.
- A producer remains legally responsible and files with the Department of Environment.
- A verified bin submission is evidence of collection, not proof of recycling.
- No kilogram is defensible without a verified product mass.
- No collection percentage is defensible without the producer’s put-on-market declaration.
- Only the regulator can determine whether a legal obligation is met.
Roadmap, not current capability: production Plastic Passports and end-to-end EPR reporting remain possible future capabilities and have no public release date here.
Current, pilot, roadmap
Keep each maturity level separate.
Working cross-platform prototype
Android, iOS, web, and trusted-service code exists. Product journeys remain subject to release, privacy, security, support, and operational verification.
Focused Dhaka pilot
Chokro is designed for Bangladesh with a focused Dhaka pilot planned. No current physical-bin operation, collection partner, recycler arrangement, or public pilot is claimed.
Production operations and integrations
Public app links, unrestricted QR entry, real payment processing, Plastic Passports, and end-to-end EPR reporting remain gated or future work—not current features.
Contribution areas
Conceptual alignment—not certification or outcome.
Chokro has defensible conceptual alignment with selected Sustainable Development Goal targets. These product-level signals do not become organisation-level Impact Sol. outcomes and are not official UN indicators, audited results, certification, or a progress score.
- 8.3
- Productive activities, entrepreneurship, and the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises
- 11.6
- Reducing the environmental impact of cities, including waste management
- 12.5
- Reducing waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse
- 13.3
- Education, awareness, and capacity related to climate action
Before public use
Release depends on more than working code.
Production availability requires verified routes, product-specific privacy and terms, processor and retention details, security checks, support ownership, approved public links, and documented rights for the name, software, media, and relationship to Impact Sol.
Approved product screenshots are not published in this build because no rights-cleared, current release set was supplied. The diagram above is explicitly representative and is not presented as a live screen.
Questions, answered
Chokro questions
Plain answers about where things stand and how to take part.
Can I use Chokro now?
Not through this website. Chokro is described as a working prototype and the current call to action is to register interest. Any future public availability will be stated only after the route and required rights are confirmed.
What does a verified bin submission prove?
It can provide evidence of collection under the prototype rules. It is not proof that material was recycled. No kilogram is defensible without verified product mass, and no collection percentage is defensible without a producer’s put-on-market declaration.
Are Chokro points money or charitable donations?
No. Prototype points are internal rewards. They cannot be purchased, transferred or withdrawn, and a point contribution does not prove that a corresponding field project was delivered or create a tax-deductible donation.
Does a Greenpreneur label certify a seller or product?
No. Greenpreneur is a product-role label, not an independent environmental certification. A public marketplace would require an approved eligibility and environmental-claims standard before stronger seller or product claims could be made.
