Optimising waste collection routes and waste management is a challenge for smart cities. This is due to the fact that sometimes unnecessary collection routes are taken because the level of each container is not known. This leads to higher fuel costs for collection trucks and a higher carbon footprint.
The greater the number of waste, the greater the number of collection transports on the streets of the city, and the larger they are, generating unpleasant situations (traffic problems, bad smells, bad image, etc).
Thanks to IoT technology and data analytics, it is possible to know how full the containers are and to organise the most efficient collection route accordingly.

Eco Smart Seal
The Eco Smart seal shows the environmental benefits generated by the Waste Management solution of Telefónica Tech with the aim that companies and organizations that implement them in their activity can quickly identify how they are contributing to protecting the environment and incorporate sustainability criteria in making decisions.
The optimized collection of urban waste by container sensorization makes it possible to optimize the route of garbage trucks, sending them only when the container is sufficiently full, in such a way that the route is optimized, reducing time and emissions to the environment, as well as promoting the circular economy.
