Ox-Chain: Towards secure and trustworthy circular economies through distributed ledger technologies (Led by ECA) |
|
| September 2016 - May 2020 | |
| The Ox-Chain project responds to specific challenges identified by global consultants McKinsey & Company for the UK based charity Oxfam that highlights how much value is lost within the existing business model, which currently sends between 70-80% of its received second hand clothes to a recycling centre. The research team propose that by using distributed ledger technology, such as the Blockchain that supports the Bitcoin digital currency, a different business model can be developed that involves the donors, the shoppers. | |
