With Smart Waste Management System, it is simpler to manage the urban waste collection in cities. Through the placement of sensors with low energy consumption and high durability in the traditional trash bins, it is possible to keep tight control on the state of the container, its location and security, thus increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the waste management teams.
Urban waste can be seen as a resource for the whole processing chain. Encourage recycling, generate rates based on each citizen’s contribution and make your city greener.

In Sweden more than 99 per cent of all household waste is recycled in one way or another. This means that the country has gone through something of a recycling revolution in the last decades, considering that only 38 per cent of household waste was recycled in 1975.
Today, recycling stations are as a rule no more than 300 metres from any residential area. Most Swedes separate all recyclable waste in their homes and deposit it in special containers in their block of flats or drop it off at a recycling station. Few other nations deposit less in rubbish dumps.

And, they’re almost there. Kamikatsu already recycles about 80 percent of its trash, with the last 20 percent going into a landfill. That progress is 12 years in the making.
