The electronic record of waste and waste containers is in accordance with the Strategy for managing municipal waste applied in the city of Bratislava in order to transition to a circular economy in the period 2021-2026.
In Slovakia, only a limited number of companies are devoted to circular economy - Sensoneo, due to its large market share and popularity, is seen as a good example to persuade other stakeholders to adopt circularity-oriented entrepreneurship models.
Challenges:
- collection trucks in the town of Nitra (SK) pick up containers unnecessarily early, when they are still half empty
- a sensor is needed to know how full containers are.
Sensoneo's suggestions:
- prototyping & adding functions to transmit data about each container (software for content analysis, optimisation of pickup routes and other functions).
Solutions:
- smart waste collection thanks to Sensoneo's sensors
- optimisation of waste collection logistics in factories
- deposit refund scheme.
Result:
- up to 30 % reduction of costs
Transferability:
- expanding on portfolio of services for 40 000 active users in 80 countries
- waste and collection monitoring.
