Eco Points
Why they exist.
Why they exist.
How you earn them.
Eco Points exist so a checked action can count with everyone else in the city. They are added only after a check. The leaderboard uses one calendar month in Almaty time, and a new month starts a new ranking.
Recycle
+1 pointEach confirmed plastic bottle in a video of a supported fandomat. One video can count several bottles. The same video or bottle is not counted twice.
Reuse
+2 pointsEach clothing item accepted at FABRIQ.
Event
+7 pointsScan the organizer’s live QR with the camera on this site, once per person. The code changes every 2 hours. Events posted without a partner organizer have no QR.
CLEANUP — Keep Your City Clean
+1 pointHelp keep your surroundings clean. Pick up litter from public areas and dispose of it properly. Get Eco Points for verified cleanup actions.
Identifying an item in the scanner is a separate score. It does not enter Eco Points.
Our approach / 4RLess impact.
Less impact.
More purpose.
Sustainability isn’t a separate way of life.
It’s caring for what’s already around you.
01 Reduce +
Cut back on the extras. A reusable bottle and tote bag are small things that go a long way.
02 Reuse +
Use it again. Repair, swap, or pass on things that still have more to give.
03 Recycle +
Sort and recycle. Check which materials your chosen collection point accepts.
04 Restore +
Give back to nature. Care for your neighbourhood, join a cleanup, and protect green spaces.

Everyone can use Eco4Youth. This leaderboard is for school pupils and students who add their institution and choose to take part.
How it works
The ranking uses confirmed Eco Points for one calendar month: assistant time, bottles, FABRIQ items, and event attendance. A new month starts a new ranking, and earlier months stay in the list. Opening an event or registering does not count. Your public name and institution appear if you reach the top 10. Pick a league or a past month.

How Eco Points work
Bottle drop-off video
Film the bottles going into the machine with this camera. A video from your gallery does not count.
FABRIQ drop-off
Take the photo or video here, at the drop-off. A file from your gallery does not count.
Cleanup
Pick up litter and put it in a public bin. One continuous camera video. +1 Eco Point per confirmed item, up to 5 a day.
At the door
Show this QR.
People who came scan it with the camera on this site. The picture changes every 2 hours. Anyone signed in with an email listed on the event sees it here, including organizers who are not site editors.
Cleanup reviews
These are the few videos the checker could not decide. Watch the recording, then approve real litter or reject it.
Your activity
Eco Points are added only after a check. The same video, bottle, item, or event is not counted twice. Identifying an item in the scanner does not add Eco Points.
