ECOBID SMART SYSTEM: A TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE REUSE AND OPTIMIZATION

Educational institutions frequently replace opera- tional assets due to technological upgrades and administrative restructuring, leading to accumulation of reusable yet discarded materials. Conventional waste handling practices emphasize disposal instead of structured reuse, resulting in financial in- efficiency and environmental strain. This study proposes the EcoBid Smart System, a technology-driven digital platform inte- grating intelligent asset classification, transparent redistribution mechanisms, and sustainability evaluation metrics. A survey of 300 institutional stakeholders was analyzed using the Chi- square test of independence. Results reveal statistically significant associations between sustainability awareness, perceived eco- nomic benefit, digital transparency, and platform acceptance. The proposed framework aligns with circular economy principles and smart campus sustainability initiatives. Findings indicate strong stakeholder readiness and scalability potential, demonstrating that structured digital reuse systems can enhance institutional resource optimization while supporting environmental and eco- nomic sustainability goals.
