Create and manage an ecosystem
You want to create and manage resource recovery ecosystems for better traceability of the deposits in your area or building.
An ecosystem makes it possible to meet a need for reuse or secondary raw materials, from a source of used resources, via transformation stages to achieve the expected quality and format.
A "Resource Manager" is the person in charge of managing the resources of a building or property throughout its lifetime. They are responsible for creating and monitoring ecosystems in Upcyclea Net-0 from the Ecosystem Manager role. Their mission is to design ecosystems with the best economic and environmental impact.
To do this, the Upcyclea Net-0 algorithms suggest to the Resource Manager deposits of used resources, as well as intermediate transformations (repair, removal, massification, transport, recycling, etc.) in order to meet the expected quality.
The “reuse button” allows you to automatically create simple reuse ecosystems from your digital bank data, by suggesting direct deposit/need associations.
The Resource Manager then engages with ecosystem stakeholders to define the economic and logistical terms. They then reserve the deposit quantities and submit price offers. They then request validation from ecosystem stakeholders to ensure full traceability of the resources exchanged.

The positive impacts generated by ecosystems are measurable using valuation indicators. These are automatically calculated by Upcyclea Net-0 once the ecosystem has been created and the terms and conditions defined (quantity, price, etc.).
4 indicators measure the positive impacts – environmental and economic – generated by the ecosystem:
- The waste balance (in kg): corresponds to the mass of waste avoided thanks to the ecosystem.
- The CO₂ balance (in kg CO₂ eq): represents the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the ecosystem. A CO₂ emission is counted positively, while the CO₂ avoided is counted negatively.
- The economic balance sheet (in euros): this is the sum of the ecosystem's costs and revenues. It is positive if the ecosystem has generated overall income for the owner of the deposit; otherwise, it is negative.
- The water balance (in L): indicates the water consumption avoided thanks to the ecosystem.
