It is reported, that in Sharjah, UAE will be launched a blockchain-enabled waste permit portal. The recycling and waste management company Bee’ah together with the Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) will be working on the development of this blockchain-based waste permit portal. According to the report, it will be the 1st platform in Sharjah that will use blockchain technology for process validation and transactions storage. The platform will be created to cut costs for customers who apply for permits within HFZA and cut permit-issuing time, which is now taking a few days, to only a few hours.
