EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Why R4M?

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover

Four simple words that will define the future of our Earth. We live in the era of the BOGO

(buy one get one free), the special sale, the great deal you absolutely cannot pass up. It

is a world where we are taught from a very young age, to quickly dispose of anything old

or unused, by simply throwing it in the trash and replacing it with the newest or latest

version. We keep buying more and more, filling our private spaces and lives with an

incredible number of unnecessary items and goods. Until finally, driven by the desire to

“unclutter,” we rid ourselves of those same items, tossing them into the trash at the

curbside.

From there, our waste is collected by a public or private waste service, and thus begins

the journey that ultimately concludes in one of the following ways - buried in a landfill,

incinerated for the purpose of producing energy, or simply incinerated, simultaneously

emitting dangerous gases into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, a considerable portion of

that waste ends up being dispersed into the environment with catastrophic results, with

only a small portion actually recycled, recovered and reused.

At R4MONITORING, we believe that Earth can no longer sustain the amount of waste

created each and every day. There is no question that recycling is critically important.

However, when the recycling process lacks efficiency and is not being employed strategically, the result is often more pollution to contend with, not less. The waste

collection and transportation industry clearly demonstrate how a system designed to

eliminate waste and reduce pollutants is failing, because of its inefficient deployment.

R4MONITORING was built on a simple premise. We are driven by a simple idea; disrupt

the waste collection and management worldwide industry with a system of advanced

technology, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), targeting the entire

waste collection and management process, starting at the very core of the business –

waste collection and transportation.

R4MONITORING is an innovative technological platform, designed to monitor and track

the logistics of the waste collection and transportation industry. At R4MONITORING, we

have a unique vision and core mission. To revolutionize the waste collection and transportation business, using cutting edge IOT technology, supported by the most advanced AI systems and sensors, all made possible by blockchain driven implementations and cryptocurrency economic exchanges. Our goal is to transform

the waste collection industry by increasing efficiencies, reducing costs and dramatically

improving environmental health while creating wealth for our Investors and adopters.

1. INTRODUCTION

With extensive experience in the waste and recycling industry, the R4MONITORING

Team has developed the most technologically advanced, cutting-edge waste

management monitoring system; deploying 1,000+ state-of-the-art monitoring units in the

last 6 months alone. Our mission is to transform an archaic waste collection system with

innovation and strategies that will generate incredible revenue for like-minded eco-

conscious adopters and investors while helping in reducing pollution and CO2 emissions

for the betterment of our planet.

How? The answer is simple. Eliminating inefficiency in the waste collection pickup

process. Regularly scheduled pickup sounds like the height of efficiency but that is the

contradiction in the waste industry that R4 Monitoring addresses. Reducing the number of inefficient waste collection pickups, resulting in less transportation vehicles on the road, translates into - less fuel utilized, less CO2, less energy wasted on maintenance of waste collection equipment; which will require less maintenance in general, as a result of more efficient use.

In fact, the R4MONITORING system’s simple premise of streamlining the transport

logistics of waste collection, will have a domino-like effect of allowing the system to self-

correct decades of “wasted” energy and effort. Instead, using AI technology, big data

analysis, and GPS / GPRS control, R4MONITORING provides real time tracking,

monitoring and remote management of waste collection devices. The system is capable

of identifying optimal times for collection, based on whether the unit is full to its capacity,

and also features a series of alerts and alarm systems, making it possible to see, in real

time, the operating status of each compactor, predicting the need for routine, or out of the

ordinary maintenance. R4M’s sophisticated waste collection equipment sensors, provide

the ability to manage logistics the correct way - by accurately predicting what is required

and when, on an as needed basis.

This White Paper focuses on analyzing the current waste market and the existing

inefficiencies impacting the environment. We will explore why R4MONITORING

represents the solution for increasing efficiency in the waste collection and transportation

business, and our plan for addressing old problems with innovative, effective solutions,

including: IoT, AI, blockchain driven implementations and cryptocurrency economical

exchanges. 1.1 WASTE LOGISTICS AND INEFFICIENCY Human activities heavily impact the environment, with consumption of natural resources

and production of waste that are faster and more aggressive than what our Earth can

withstand. Over the centuries, industrial and technological advances have continued to

develop, enhancing our lives in so many ways, but the price to pay is in the resulting

damage to the environment, caused by heavy industrialization and urban living; damage

that has reached alarming levels the planet will not be able to withstand in the long term.

Increased sustainability has become critically important and is recognized by

governments all over the world as something that must be acted upon in the present, to

protect our planet for the future. And while many international governments are taking

measured steps to improve long-term sustainability, through the development of better

policies and by establishing corporate accountability for energy efficiency and waste

management, it is clear we have a long way to go and more intervention is needed.

Enhancing and increasing sustainability is a gesture of responsibility, but it is also a core

process improvement that not only reduces waste, it reduces costs. R4MONITORING

was developed to provide technologically advanced solutions to the waste collection and

transportation business. We increase efficiency providing systems and solutions that

enhance the recycling and recovering of waste items, while ultimately making a larger,

positive impact on the environment. With more efficient collection and handling at the

source of the entire process, R4MONITORING is able to work with industry players,

providing immediate economical and process improvements that will result in increased

efficiency in the waste collection industry. 1.2 WASTE MANAGEMENT CYCLE: FROM PRODUCTION TO LOGISTICS

The management of waste and recycled materials business model of today is a complex

series of steps, that has not considerably evolved over the last 40 years. The

management process of waste collection often depends on the economic development

of the country in question. However, every company and commercial activity occurring in

the majority of industries across the globe today are, in effect, real producers of waste

and recoverable waste. The current process places the responsibility for differentiating,

storing and shipping of waste in the hands of the manufacturer/business producing the

waste. In the vast majority of cases, the manufacturer/business producing the waste

subcontracts out the waste collection, transportation and recycling to specialized waste

management companies, which essentially replaces the manufacturer/business in the

waste supply chain.

The waste management company typically places a series of roll-off compactors onsite,

to collect and sort waste according to the type of material. Waste products are sorted

accordingly, to separate reusable materials such as - plastic, paper, cardboard, wood,

and glass. Whereas, organic, undifferentiated, explosive, chemical and contaminated

waste are captured in their own, separately identified containers. At scheduled intervals,

or when called, the waste management company sends a vehicle to pick up the

compactors, typically dropping off empty ones at the same time.

This method of waste collection is flawed on different levels. First, without a built-in

mechanism to gauge the fullness of a compactor, the scheduled pickups may occur when

the compactors are only half or partially full. Conversely, if compactors fill up prior to a

scheduled pickup, the manufacturer/business is now left without the ability to manage

and store additional waste in the interim of waiting for the next pickup. Should the

manufacturer/business place a call to the waste management company for an

unscheduled pickup, this obviously creates additional inefficiencies and waste with

Page 9: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

9

possible reroutes and logistical problems. These flaws in the system create inefficiencies

that result in the expenditure of additional transportation resources, leading to more

pollutants in the environment, and increased costs; all adding up to less sustainability.

It is an unfortunate irony that the very waste collection system designed to control waste,

reduce pollutants and increase recycling is often the catalyst for exactly the opposite.

Waste – whether it is material, gas, excess inventory etc. - is the enemy of efficiency and

effectiveness. There is more pressure now than ever in the supply chain, for buyers,

manufacturers and end users, to minimize waste in operations, to reduce costs, increase

revenue, manage resource scarcity and reduce the environmental impact. Companies

that are capable of limiting waste improve their resilience and competitiveness, while

enhancing corporate social responsibility profiles. Businesses that fail to effectively

manage waste, run the risk of their core operations becoming far less sustainable, while

also impacting relationships with other companies, who may choose not to work with

organizations who fail to manage excess waste, as this can negatively impact their supply

chain and values downgrading their reputation.

In order to reduce waste in the supply chain, businesses must look at their product or

service and identify more efficient ways to perform at maximum sustainability levels.

Suppliers in the waste management industry who are able to offer businesses innovative

ways to improve efficiency and maximize sustainability will find they not only have a

competitive edge, but they are also transferring this competitive edge onto their clients. 1.3 THE PROBLEM WITH INEFFICIENT LOGISTICS The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and

sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase recycling. Based

on the existing inefficient workflow in the waste collection and transport industry, it is easy

to understand how waste management is becoming an increasingly high cost item in the

budget of most companies.

Page 10: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

The contradiction of an inefficient waste collection and recycling system creating more

pollution is one that can be solved through the optimization of the primary issue in the

management of waste and materials: logistics. However, this optimization is not easy to

achieve, particulary when you consider a few simple, but well-known problems:

- Initial outlay of capital – Developing an efficient logistical system requires a

finanancial investment in procedures and infrastructure that is often very onerous in

relation to the volume of business managed.

- Culture of avoidance – It is often the case that certain somehwat hidden or less

visible cost items are not considered as a crucial problem that requires a solution.

- Lack of available technology – Many companies do not have access to, or the

ability to evaluate and govern new technologies that may be able to reduce

management and expense costs.

- Lack of adequate tax incentives – Often companies are motivated into action by

external factors like tax incentives.

- Information disconnect – The limited technical knowledge of the sector by financial

institutions, who may have a difficult time interpreting technological information and

applying it accurately to the business and financial plans of complex projects,

resulting in a lack of proper assessment of the potential ROI.

- Lack of confidence – The fear of not receiving a return on investment when investing

in waste collection.

These factors have contributed to an outdated approach as it relates to the management

of waste logistics, leaving the system in need of an efficiency overhaul like R4MONITORING provides.

Our Team at R4MONITORING has been involved in the development of energy

efficiency, structural and procedural projects for over 30 years, with specific expertise in

the waste and recycled materials sector. This experience has provided the foundation for

the series of activities, companies and services designed to support players operating in

Page 11: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

11

this sector. Today, R4MONITORING represents the most efficient blockchain-based

system dedicated to the waste collection and transportation industry.

1.4 MARKET ANALYSIS – A GLOBAL LOOK AT THE PROBLEM OF WASTE Today the global waste disposal market is worth 250 billion euros (225 billion USD)

estimates project it could reach 330 billion euros (374 billion USD) by 2030.

According to the study, “What a Waste: A Global Review of Solid Waste Management,”1 completed by World Bank’s Urban Development team, solid waste,

specifically, Municipal Solid Waste, (MSW) is growing at a faster rate than the worldwide

polulation is growing. Perhaps an even more startling fact – MSW is growing faster than

we can recycle it and is predicted to increase by triple the current rate by the year 2100.2 The report goes on to predict that by the year 2025, MSW will likely increase to a

staggering 2.2 billion tons annually because of anticipated population growth in urban

areas. An amount that is nearly double the current amount. The problem is reaching epic

proportions and is even more acute in developing countries, who are generating more

and more MSW. To cope with the massive amounts of MSW generated, more incinerators

are being built, more trucks put on the road to transport waste to landfills; essentially more

processes that increase air pollution and green-house gas emissions into the atmosphere

are being added to the equation in response to the global crisis of waste. Improving the

process of managing solid waste is becoming an urgent issue and is recognized by local,

national, and international leaders as one of the most pressing issues in our world today.

And while many countries and cities are leading the way by establishing programs that

reduce waste and increase recyclables, the waste management process varies across

the globe, with even more varied outcomes. In higher income countries for example, the

most common methods of waste management are landfilling and thermal treatment of

waste. Whereas, in lower to middle income countries, MSW is often disposed of in open

dumps. 3

The impact of such practices, as well as the impact of uncollected waste, is not merely a

financial one. Uncollected waste is a breeding ground for disease and can disturb the

balance of the surrounding ecosystem in a myriad of ways, making it even more

imperative to institute systemic changes improving the waste management system world-

wide.

Page 13: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

13

However, it is fair to say that solid-waste management has become one of the greatest

costs to municipal budgets.

*As illustrated in the tables above and below, the astronomical costs globally are projected to rise even higher in the next decade.

Page 14: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

14

Ideally, an integrated solid waste management (ISWM) approach to the problem of solid

waste collection, transport and disposal would involve a comprehensive plan of careful

selection and sustained application of appropriate technology, working conditions, and

establishment of a ‘social license’ between the community and designated waste

management authorities (most commonly local government). ISWM should be driven by

clear objectives and is based on the hierarchy of waste management: reduce, reuse, recycle and recovery. 4 (as illustrated on the following page.)

2. VISION: R4MONITORING At R4MONITORING, we have a unique vision and core mission.

15

industry, R4MONITORING technology provides the dual benefit of protecting our planet,

by reducing collateral pollution resulting from an inefficient logistics process, and

decreasing operational costs associated with these same inefficiencies.

The bottom line – R4MONITORING is a system of sophisticated sensors that provide real-time data on the status of waste compactors. The current system of scheduled

intervals for waste collection and for the maintenance of waste compactors is obsolete

and does not provide for variants that would allow collection and maintenance to be

scheduled efficiently. Less trucks on the road collecting waste or maintaining partially full

compactors translates into tangible economic returns for investors, beneficiaries and the

industry as a whole, while simultaneously enhancing environmental sustainability.

Thanks to blockchain technology we can now monitor and certify these savings and redistribute their value amongst the users of the platform as a tangible Return of Investment (ROI).

Our platform allows private or institutional investors to engage in a productive dialogue

with companies in the waste sector, who specialize in waste management, or companies

who simply wish to reduce their internal waste management costs. To facilitate

implementation of the R4MONITORING platform, we have opted to follow the

tokenization principle of investment, which allows companies to negotiate the level of

intervention they choose directly with investors; a principle

that provides opportunities to acquire the financial backing necessary that may otherwise

be unavailable via traditional methods.

The savings derived from the intervention are shared between the investors who made

the investment and the subsequent requalification process possible, and the beneficiary;

in this case the waste producer or the logistics company. Savings are tokenized and can

be utilized to offset future waste costs or simply to realize a monetary return of investment

while the beneficiary will recognize a reduction in their waste management costs.

2.1 BASE TECHNOLOGY Our search for solutions to the inefficiencies in the waste management system began with

a study supported and recognized by the Italian Ministry of the Economy, which has

enabled us to precisely quantify the important ecological and economical savings for each

ton of waste managed by our customers. Up to 40% savings on route reduction for transport vehicles and compactors have been achieved on a consistent basis as a result of the R4MONITORING system. These savings have been certified based on the

system being installed on more than 1,000 units distributed on the Italian territory, the site

of the first product development test.

Using AI technology, big data analysis, and GPS / GPRS control, R4MONITORING

provides real time tracking, monitoring and remote management of waste collection

devices. The R4M hardware installed in the compactor communicates directly with the

compactor's functioning systems and transmits the data wirelessly to our cloud-based

platform.

This provides for a remotely-controlled operation, in which each compactor's location is

identified on a map in real time, as well as its functioning status. The system is capable

of identifying optimal times for collection, based on whether the unit is full to its capacity,

and can predict the need for routine, or out of the ordinary maintenance.

The R4M system also features a series of alerts and alarm systems, making it possible

to see, in real time, the operating status of each compactor. The system will automatically

alert the maintenance department should an issue arise, or if it requires technical

maintenance in the event of a breakdown.

*R4 is proposed on the market to optimize the transport of waste. Through the use of detection sensors positioned on waste collection containers, the R4 Software avoids empty trips or trips with only partially loaded containers, resulting in a 40% reduction in costs and a 30% reduction in emissions.

2.2 SYSTEM ADVANTAGES - Real-time logistics information - The ability to access logistical and functional

information of each unit at any given time, allows participants and operators to

strategically plan waste collection pickups and compactor maintenance, reducing

system redundancies and greatly increasing logistical efficiencies.

- Early intervention - It cannot be overstated that being able to intervene quickly when

a compactor breaks down or requires maintenance so that it will not break down, can

prevent interruptions in the entire waste collection and disposal chain and speed up

the recycling process.

- Enhanced safety - Another incredible advantage of the R4M system is that it

improves operator safety. Customizable alarms allow the system to continuously

monitor the compactor's operating status, anticipating and ultimately preventing,

potential failures that may not only cause delays in disposal times, but could also put

the health and safety of workers at risk.

Page 18: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

18

*One of the main spending factors of this market is logistics of waste transport. Means of transport that daily they load, transport and discharge waste: a considerable cost management that reaches up to 70% of the total costs.

2.3 INVESTORS, LOGISTICS, PRODUCERS

The R4MONITORING platform brings together all stakeholders in the waste supply chain: Producers of Waste – Businesses and manufacturers who uses waste management

companies to handle their waste production with roll-off waste compactors. Amongst

these Producers, there may be certain businesses who handle their own waste

management directly and that therefore can also be classified as a Waste Management

Company.

Page 19: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

19

Waste Management Companies – Businesses with transport fleets and material sorting,

recycling and recovery activities who serve the Producers of Waste. These Companies,

actively involved in distributing, providing and maintaining waste compactors and waste

vehicles are the ones that gain tangible savings through increased efficiency provided by

the R4M platform.

Investors – Institutional or private entities and individuals who access the auction

mechanism through the R4MONITORING platform, to purchase the future savings

generated by efficiency projects at the Waste Management Companies level. The

quantity of tokens held will be used to establish priority of access to new efficiency

projects. Energy savings generated by third parties can be used to offset or eliminate their

own waste management costs. *At R4Monitoring, we want to unite companies that need to dispose of waste and investors who want to enter this sector. Thus, was born R4M, the digital currency that grows with the actual savings from companies and is exchanged through the contribution of investors. Thanks to R4M Token, every investor will be able to accumulate earnings or use the token to pay their own waste management costs.

3. R4M TOKEN - HOW IT WORKS: THE ROLE OF BLOCKCHAIN, TOKENIZATION AND THE WASTE PERFORMANCE SMART CONTRACT

The R4M system is currently available and could be easily implemented by any waste

management company who would immediately start realizing savings and increased

efficiencies. However, thanks to blockchain based technology and our own

cryptocurrency, we will not only be revolutionizing the waste collection industry by vastly

improving efficiencies, but we will also be creating wealth and tangible returns for our

investors and adopters.

Blockchain – As previously discussed, several factors present barriers to the development of efficiency

projects - technological, financing and cultural. To overcome these barriers, a Waste

Management Company, or a Waste Producer will use the R4MONITORING platform to

obtain the necessary funds to complete the project development, in exchange for sharing

a portion of the savings generated, in total safety, thanks to the solid and decentralized

blockchain structure.

The role of the blockchain is fundamental, because it is a transparent system that

guarantees the accuracy and the safety of the savings data obtained. The data that every

remote monitoring system transmits is validated and certified by the blockchain, resulting

in the unequivocal guarantee that the savings obtained at a particular point in time are

accurate, genuine and readily accessible in the investors profile.

Tokenization – To improve the financing and capital access cycle, R4MONITORING has created the

R4M Token, the token dedicated to the optimization of waste logistics. The innovative

tokenization model has been clarified by the European regulator. It is structured as a

reward-based crowdfunding, where Investors are rewarded with energy savings that they

can store, sell or use to offset their waste management costs. The savings create a

Page 21: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

21

contractual mechanism between companies that want to improve the efficiency of their

processes and the investor community coordinated by the R4MONITORING platform.

Thanks to the advanced technology of our platform, we are able to determine a baseline

and a subsequent resource saving quotient for a specific unit with the R4M system

installed. Based on this parameter, each user can monitor his energy savings and,

consequently, quantify the associated economic value. From this quantification comes

the true idea of the R4M Token, our cryptocurrency token, linked to the real and certified

value of energy efficiency obtained with the R4M system.

Waste Performance Smart Contract – The R4MONITORING platform allows participants to experience energy savings through

the implementation of the Waste Performance Smart Contract, which becomes a tangible

asset in the hands of token holders, who can decide to sell, exchange or use them to

reduce their own internal waste management costs, while improving their operations.

Through smart contracts, blockchain technology is used to certify savings obtained by the

Waste Management Companies thanks to the R4M platform. The Waste Performance

Smart Contract allows the Waste Management Companies to benefit of third-party

investments for the upgrade of their systems and implementation of the R4M technology

while realizing efficiency and cost savings. The Contract binds the Waste Management

Companies to share a portion of their realized savings with the Investors for 5 years,

therefore providing a tangible ROI for the Investors and an increase of the value of the

tokens. Furthermore, 1% of the energy savings obtained thanks to the R4M platform and

certified by the Waste Performance Smart Contracts are distributed amongst all

R4MONITORING Investors, therefore increasing the value of their tokens.

After 5 years, the Waste Management Company starts realizing 100% of the savings

generated by the R4M system.

3.1 R4M Token - HOW IT WORKS Company X, a leader in waste management runs a waste collection and transportation

business. With dozens of vehicles and hundreds of waste compactors deployed over a

large geographic area serves numerous clients that keep their compactors and waste

management capabilities at capacity. The Management at Company X realizes that

several inefficiencies are affecting their bottom line; due to inefficient collections and

maintenance of the deployed compactors, increasing maintenance costs (of transport

vehicles and compactors), as well as increased Human Resources costs; their profitability

is reducing over time and affecting the Company's bottom line.

The Management at Company X hears of the innovative R4M solution and decides to test

it. They create an account and log in their production and technical data. Shortly after,

R4M contacts Company X to inform them that the project has been fully funded and that

the upgrade of their system and deployment of the R4M platform is about to start. From

that moment on, Company X will immediately start realizing economical, tangible gains

due to increased efficiency in their operations.

Below Is a summary of how this works.

Once Company X creates a profile and logs in its technical data the R4MONITORING

Team reviews the project requests and develops an implementation plan. The Team

analyzes the technical waste management structure of the beneficiary and provides an

approach to improve its performance by optimizing logistics. Specifically:

- Each project is initially assessed to determine logistical costs, including fuel costs and

other costs associated with the transport of waste and equipment therefore

establishing the investment requirement.

Page 23: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

23

- The current vehicles and compactors fleet is evaluated, analyzed and compared

against current and future needs. Consequently, the need for adding or changing units

of the fleet is also analyzed.

- Each unit is assessed to establish a baseline of maintenance and operational cost

associated with wear and maintenance status.

- With the proposed implementation plan ready, the Beneficiary (i.e., Waste

Management Company, Company X in this case) enters into a Waste Management

Smart Contract with R4MONITORING. Thanks to the contract, 100% of the capital

needed for the implementation of the upgrades is covered with the R4M Token by our

investors.

- The R4M remote monitoring sensors, which are encased in a rugged shell, are

installed within key waste collection devices, such as compactors and transport

vehicles.

- As part of the implementation, our Team will provide comprehensive training on the

use of the system and ensure that Company X is fully integrated on the R4M platform.

- The R4M platform also provides an accurate maintenance plan based on the data

collected by the remote monitoring equipment, therefore providing savings on the

maintenance of the waste compactors and vehicles.

For the entire duration of the Waste Management Smart Contract, the Beneficiary realizes

economical gains in the form of increased efficiency, i.e., less cost for running its

operation. These savings are certified by the blockchain and in part transferred to the

R4MONITORING platform, providing an ROI for the Investors. the ROI Is tokenized being

in the form of R4M Tokens, which may be used by the Investors to purchase efficiency

enhancement services, re-used for new projects or sold if they choose to do so. At the

end of the contract, the Beneficiary will start realizing 100% of the savings thanks to an

efficient, modern structure that will guarantee efficiency for years to come.

Candidate projects will be available for review on the R4M platform. Each energy

efficiency project will be advertised providing (at a minimum) the following information:

Page 24: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

1. Costs.

2. The percentage of savings shared with Investors through the Waste Performance

Smart Contract.

3. The duration of the Waste Performance Smart Contract.

4. The amount of savings generated.

5. The duration of the auction period.

6. The intrinsic performance of the operation.

In this way every investor in possession of R4M Token can participate in these tenders

to invest in Waste Performance Smart Contracts and thus accumulate the savings

obtained. Investors will have the right to access the auctions to support efficiency projects,

in return for the savings generated. As previously stated, they will also be able to decide

whether to use the earned tokens to reduce their waste management costs, or to sell it.

The order of access to new efficiency projects and the consequent collection of the related

savings will directly correlate to the number of tokens held by the investor.

It is expected, based on the data collected on the 1,000+ units already installed, that a

typical project can generate up to 40% cost savings, with a return for the investor of up to

20% on a yearly basis for the 5-year duration of the Waste Performance Smart Contract.

Given the limited number of tokens and the increase in value directly correlated to the

certified savings it is expected that the R4M Token should rapidly appreciate in value.

Two additional strategies, consisting of a buyback program and the distribution amongst

all of the investors of a portion of the savings obtained through the platform will keep

increasing the appreciation of the tokens.

4. WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SO FAR Starting in 2013, the R4M Team, through parent companies tenec and GEMAST Green

Project, designed and developed logistics optimization actions for over 300 companies.

A significant example is one that involved the introduction of modern logistics

management logics, through an analysis platform linked to the IoT R4 monitoring devices

of an Italian waste management company. The company has a fleet of about 600

compactors for waste and recycled material. As with any intervention, the project involved

the installation of the system on a sample of 30 compactors, and the consequent

collection of real data for a period of 3 months. Thanks to the analysis of the collected

data, it was possible to define the most appropriate settings with respect to the client's

business with the following results.

5.1 LOCKING SCHEME We intend to block a portion of the tokens for a fixed period, in order to reduce the

probability of a collapse of the R4M prices, as often happens with new tokens. Tokens

assigned to the Reserve Fund, the Advisors, the Team and the Friends and Family event

will be blocked for 12 months.

5.2 BUYBACK PROGRAM

R4MONITORING continuously applies a scheduled token repurchase system on the

listed market. This means that, as savings are realized in the form of a Waste

Performance Smart Contract, XXXX of the value saved, is used to buy back R4M tokens

on the market. In this way, the continuous demand decreases the available number of

R4M tokens, i.e., the only tools that currently allow participation in profitable investments

linked to the optimization of waste logistics, eliminating the frictions present in the market.

Keeping R4M token in your wallet, therefore, will always be more convenient than selling

to monetize them. In doing so, you can increase the value of your position because the

proceeds of part of the efficiency, will be used for the R4MONITORING buyback program.

6. COMPANIES The R4MONITORING project began as a GEMAST

Green Project, a branch of GEMAST, in April 2013 with

an initial startup investment by GEMAST of

approximately €200,000.00 ($276,000.00). GEMAST is

an international growth equity and management

consulting firm, with strong expertise and experience in renewable energy and the waste

management industry.

Following this first initial investment, an intense phase of research and development was

launched, with the collaboration of many players operating in the Italian waste

management market. This initial phase of the project was managed through the

development of the first IoT module, which allowed for testing in the field of over 200

installations, providing a valuable opportunity to test for virtually every potential problem

that might be encountered.

The project and the hardware and software products connected to the IoT module evolved

until April 2015; at that time GEMAST spearheaded the incorporation of a new, dedicated

Page 30: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

30

company for the distribution, installation and maintenance

of the R4M system; the company, Technology and Ecology

srl (tenec) was soon certified by the Italian Ministry of

Economic Development as an Innovative Startup.

Under the control and supervision of GEMAST, tenec further develops and tests the R4M

system. From April 2015 to December 2017, in the wake of the success achieved with

the first version of the system, a second phase of research and development was

launched, creating the second generation of the IOT module and sensors. The testing on

this phase lasted nearly two years and was financed by GEMAST with almost

€500,000.00 ($600,000.00). The results translated into installing over 600 units over the

course of 4 months.

With the Italian market well under development with tenec, GEMAST

decided to partner up with AitherCO2, an international organization

operating in commodity trading, to establish a new standalone

company totally focused on the overall international market, R4 srl,

owner of the R4MONITORING system and platform. Shortly after

inception, R4 also obtained the certification as an Innovative Startup by

the Italian Ministry of Economic Development.

With the system and platform fully operational, R4MONITORING, supported by GEMAST,

AitherCO2, tenec and additional key industry players is ready to revolutionize the waste collection and transportation business, using cutting edge IOT technology, supported by the most advanced AI systems and sensors, all made possible by blockchain driven implementations and cryptocurrency economic exchanges. Our goal is to

transform the waste collection industry by increasing

efficiencies, reducing costs and dramatically improving environmental health while

creating wealth for our Investors and adopters.

9. CONCLUSION Digital transformation is increasingly connected to the theme of DISRUPTIVE

INNOVATION.

A company is disruptive when it breaks with the past, using technological innovation to

create products and/or services, capable of immediately obtaining the consent of a large

audience, making a major impact on the industry. The breaking point lies in the change

of strategy: instead of working on the consolidated habits of people and on the

progressive improvement of existing products and services, we use the creativity and

imagination of designing services and products that do not yet have a demand.

The premise of self-disruption is the abandonment of a business that has become

obsolete. The common denominator, instead, is digital technology, which helps

companies to renew and manage (that is to invent, analyze, plan, test, implement, deliver,

Page 33: R4MONITORING V1.7 · The number of waste compactors, containers, carriers, transport vehicles, storage and sorting areas grows together with the need to reduce waste and increase

33

maintain, track, control, ensure) the business, enhancing relations with colleagues,

partners, customers, consumers.

Thanks to a system based on an economical incentive to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and

Recover for the entire waste management chain, we will be able to provide logistics

optimization technology at no cost to the users. A blockchain derived approach will certify

the entire waste management chain, ensuring transparency and rewards for the players

within the platform. We aim at offering the R4MONITORING solution at no cost to the

industry: no installation costs thanks to a waste management chain that sustains itself

creating wealth for the players within the system while benefitting the Earth with less

uncollected, mismanaged and un-recycled waste.

R4MONITORING is an innovative technological platform, designed to monitor and track

the logistics of the waste collection and transportation industry. At R4MONITORING, we

have a unique vision and core mission. To revolutionize the waste collection and transportation business, using cutting edge IOT technology, supported by the most advanced AI systems and sensors, all made possible by blockchain driven implementations and cryptocurrency economic exchanges. Our goal is to transform

the waste collection industry by increasing efficiencies, reducing costs and dramatically

improving environmental health while creating wealth for our Investors and adopters.
