In 2022 alone, over 62 million tonnes of e-waste were generated globally and only 22.3% was properly recycled. At PROSDOMA, we’re asking: What if the tools we use to protect our environment didn’t harm it in the process?
A recent study by Elif Özdemir (Intersect, 2024) offers hope through AI-enhanced biodegradable sensors, cutting-edge tools that monitor pollution, temperature, and humidity, while naturally decomposing after use. These sensors, powered by artificial intelligence, provide real-time data to detect environmental risks early and optimize sustainability efforts from farms to cities.
The innovation lies not only in the science, but in the ethics: inclusive access, responsible AI governance, and local stakeholder engagement are essential. For PROSDOMA, it’s a bold step toward a future where technology serves both people and the planet.
✅ What Can Be Done?
1️⃣ Invest in Green Tech R&D
Encourage public and private funding for biodegradable, AI-integrated monitoring tools.
2️⃣ Pilot Programs for Communities
Support low-cost trials in vulnerable regions most affected by environmental risks.
3️⃣ Build Ethical AI Standards
Ensure transparency, privacy, and equity in sensor deployment and data usage.
4️⃣ Educate and Empower
Train local youth and scientists in the design and use of sustainable tech.
