Carbon Offset Credits for Demolition Waste
A system that allows construction companies to purchase carbon offset credits based on the amount of waste material successfully sorted and recycled by the AI robots. This incentivizes recycling, but masks the larger problem of unsustainable consumption and construction practices. It would allow companies to 'greenwash' themselves, even if they demolish buildings more quickly, as recycling mitigates the harm in their perspective.
