We design and implement smart solutions to optimize household waste collection. Our "New Collection" approach is tailored to the specific needs of each city, combining advanced technologies with strategic planning. By using sensors and geolocation systems, we optimize collection routes, reduce environmental impact, and improve quality of life.
Our solutions provide a high level of traceability, promote sorting, and enable the implementation of incentive-based pricing systems—benefiting communities, operators, and citizens alike, while simultaneously reducing costs and waste volumes.
We have developed SALTO, an advanced automated sorting technology for recyclable packaging. This innovative solution optimizes recycling and material recovery, with the capability to recognize up to 14 different types on a single sorting belt. SALTO not only increases sorting efficiency but also ensures a safer working environment for our operators.
This technology is scalable and remotely controlled, easily adaptable to future regulations, and ensures sustainable waste management and better resource preservation—for both our clients and the environment.
“Dynamic Street Cleansing” is designed for street cleaning and bulky waste collection. This integrated offering supports the optimization of resource and vehicle management, enhancing service efficiency and reducing costs. Our approach includes area audits, operational optimization, the use of geolocation tools, and staff training.
We also incorporate mobile applications that allow citizens to directly connect with cleaning services—ensuring a cleaner, more attractive city and an improved quality of life for residents.
