Townew T1 White - smart waste bin, white, capacity 15.5 liters

Product Information

These numbers can also help predict waste levels on a national and even global scale, helping define future strategies and solutions that will contribute to sustainable waste management. Why is smarter waste management important? This means that collection routes can be planned more effectively, reducing the amount of time, traffic, labour and fuel wasted in retrieving bins that aren’t yet full. Data capture directly from smart bins The sensors are IoT-enabled (Internet of Things) and report how full the bin is in real-time. This data is sent to a cloud-based monitoring and analytics platform to help waste management services streamline their schedule to save fuel and time.

This means fewer bins are needed to collect the same amount of rubbish. Fewer bins also means less rubbish overflowing and no lingering odour. Efficient route planning Enter smart bins: intelligent waste management systems that use the Internet of Things (IoT) to collect data and maximise space for public rubbish. Our Innovation Analysts recently looked into emerging technologies and up-and-coming startups in waste management. As there is a large number of startups working on a wide variety of solutions, we decided to share our insights with you. This time, we are taking a look at 5 promising smart bin solutions. Heat Map: 5 Top Smart Bin Solutions Smart bins enable sustainability teams to reach their waste diversion goals and be better at recycling.Even though smart bins are far from finished, they were trialled on Sutton High Street in 2019 with impressive results. Twenty-one standard litter bins were replaced with 10 ‘compactor smart bins’, leading to a 90% reduction in collections and over 43,000 litres of waste collected in the first four weeks.

Smart bins propose a direct benefit to local communities on top of relieving the nation’s already struggling landfills. Fewer bins on the streets The waste and recycling management supply chain begins with garbage bins. This is the first place our waste/recycling goes. Because of this, bins in commercial buildings like airports, universities, offices, shopping malls, stadiums, and hotels need to be updated. The waste management industry is investing heavily in tech to solve some of its biggest problems – and the smart bin is the latest gadget to be rolled out. South Korean startup Ecube Labs develops CleanCUBE – a waste bin with solar-powered waste compaction, which can hold up to 8 times more waste compared to non-compacting bins. The built-in safety sensor detects motion and stops waste compaction when it detects a hand or finger while also reducing the frequency of collection. The information is relayed to their cloud and analytics platform CleanCityNetworks for analysis. Smartsensor – Temperature Sensors Smart bins can be a real asset to busy city centres and other high-traffic areas by offering the following benefits:Because of space-saving compactors in smart bins, you can fit much more into one container than the average litter bin (or maybe even more than a small skip). The UK population has grown year-on-year since 1982 . This means more consumption, resulting in greater levels of rubbish and recycling to manage and collect. Overcrowded bins, high-traffic areas with no waste containers, and poor recycling practices contribute to inefficient waste management. Optimised routes for waste collection services. Waste is only collected when the bin is full, which means less emissions, fuel use, workforce, and traffic congestion. A waste compactor reads a waste bin’s fill-level in real-time by using sensors and then triggers automatic compaction. This increases the bin’s capacity up to 5-8 times.
