Smart waste sorting in public spaces

Sorting waste in the public environment is important to help keep our communities clean and healthy, while contributing to a sustainable environment. Overall, smart source separation is an important tool for improving waste management in public places

Sorting waste in the public environment is important to help keep our communities clean and healthy

Smart sorting can be a step in the right direction to make it easier for visitors to dispose of litter in the right place, and more efficient for businesses to manage waste. Using advanced technologies such as sensors, compactors, solar cells and machine learning can automatically improve the efficiency and accuracy of the waste process.

This is an excellent way to reduce the environmental impact of waste. By sorting your rubbish, you can ensure that recyclable materials are reused and not sent for incineration. This also contributes to sustainable development by reducing the impact on the environment and increasing recycling. An environment with good waste sorting can be more attractive and become a more inviting place for visitors.

It is also important to take into account the capacity of the waste containers, depending on how often they are emptied and how much waste is likely to be generated in the catchment area. Whether you want to place your waste stations in a city centre, in a square, in a park, next to a property or in a bathing area - or where there are large amounts of rubbish in motion - we have everything you need!

Modular waste sorting for public environments provides greater flexibility to adapt to location and needs

Our smart waste sorting system is modular and based on the waste platform from Bigbelly. This allows you to build on existing containers within the system with your desired sorting options and thus select additional features for the waste container.

Smart sorting should be modular and adaptable
Capacity from 120 to 1710 litres per station.

This can also help to reduce waste management costs by increasing the recycling of recyclable materials. This leads to savings in the form of lower waste management fees and increased revenues from recycled products.

Through smart waste sorting, you can raise awareness of the importance of caring for the environment while inspiring people to start sorting their trash, even in other places. Waste sorting can, in the long run, lead to a broad change in behavior and, ultimately, to this practice becoming the norm in public spaces. 

Why you should choose smart sorting

Our smart waste system is a state-of-the-art solution for smart cities. Designed to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly, it can be deployed in cities all over the world. The platform offers several advantages over traditional waste containers. These advantages include:

  1. Increased capacity: built-in compression feature allows the bin to handle five times more waste than a traditional bin, reducing the need for emptying and increasing capacity.
  2. Increased measurability: equipped with sensors that report back to the management when it is time to empty the container. This allows the administration to create a more logical and efficient emptying schedule.
  3. Reduced global footprint: as Bigbelly can hold more waste, the number of emptying operations is reduced, thus also reducing emissions and congestion from the emptying vehicles.
  4. Cleaner environment: Bigbelly is a closed system, which makes it harder for pests to access the contents of the container and reduces the likelihood of debris ending up on the ground or in waterways.
  5. Customisable: Bigbelly can be adapted to local needs and conditions, including capacity, function, sorting and design(tip: test integrated sound module to raise awareness in the area).
Waste tools for cleaning in the public environment

It can also help to reduce the amount of litter in our shared environments

We want to give you full control over your bins with a waste management tool that helps you decide where to put your resources. This saves time, money and also reduces the need for transport for waste collection.

So, if you are a municipality, a company or an organisation interested in improving waste management in public environments, you should consider the possibility of introducing smart sorting. It can help you create a cleaner environment, while contributing to more efficient operations.

Enabling waste sorting in the public environment
Adapt design, sorting, capacity and measure the proportion of rubbish in each bin.

Increase recycling and opportunities to achieve a circular economy, including in public places

Avfall Sverige has launched a new common signage system to make it easier for everyone to sort their waste correctly. The aim is to increase recycling and increase the possibilities of achieving a circular economy. It is up to the municipality to choose which design and sorting system should be visible.
