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

Product Information

The rapid rise in our global population has not made the waste industry any smaller. More people means more consumption, which means there’s more waste to deal with. As long as our consumption habits persist, cities and businesses can expect waste management to become a bigger and bigger problem — unless we start using technology to improve our waste management systems. Many smart bins also have an environmentally friendly compactor that allows them to house eight times more waste and avoid overflowing. The compactor runs off solar power and compresses the waste, meaning fewer bins are needed to collect the same amount of rubbish. Once the compactor has compressed the waste, another internal capacity measurement is taken (the sensor also measures capacity when placing rubbish into the container). French startup Smartup Cities develops smart bin and container fill-level monitoring solutions, based on ultrasonic sensors. Thereby they provide complete remote visibility over any type of containers and help plan the collecting routes accordingly. Ecube Labs – Solar Powered Trash Compactor

As the world’s population continues to grow, cities and urban areas are getting more crowded and litter is becoming a bigger problem than ever. 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. Innovative waste bins come equipped with screens, dashboards or other interactive systems that capture the users’ attention. For example, they can include elements of a game, can educate how to correctly sort waste or motivate users every time they throw away their waste in the bins. Better, greener waste management takes dedicated professionals with experience in auditing, logistics and recycling – and smart bins are a welcome tool that SunSkips will be following with interest. This will not only make private waste management more environmentally friendly, but will also save customers a lot of money when their biggest waste-generating habits are identified and solutions are put into action. Are smart bins the future of waste management?Because we are terrible at recycling properly, the recyclables that are collected by waste haulers requires a lot of sorting. The extensive sorting increases the production costs of recycled plastic pellets. Research with facilities management teams shows that, when it comes to waste and recycling, they strongly prioritize waste diversion. At the end of each year, facilities receive a waste diversion score based on how well they manage their waste/recycling. The idea is to divert as much waste from landfills as possible. No overflowing bins, significantly improving public hygiene (no unpleasant smells, attracting pests, etc.). 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.

Overstuffed bins, high-traffic areas with no containers and poor public recycling habits are spiralling out of control, meaning standard litter bins just aren’t cutting anymore. 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. The US-based company EvoEco develops the EvoBin which displays responsive messages to the user, triggered by sensors inside and depending on the types of thrown waste. Messages can be customized for specific audiences or events. Sensoneo – Route Planning Optimization Smart bins could reduce the need for manual waste management, increasing unemployment for unskilled workers.Once a certain level is reached, the smart bins start to compact the waste, allowing for as much as 10 times more to be loaded into it, potentially spelling the end of overflowing containers. In the last 100 years, the way we dispose of our waste has not changed. But now that waste is at an all-time high, it’s time that we use modern solutions to manage our waste. That’s where Smartbin.io comes in. If we can give businesses and cities the tools and insight that will enable them to be better at recycling, the resulting effects down the supply chain will alleviate most of these costs. If every bag of recycling generated by our customers was uncontaminated, recycling management would require less sorting, lowering the price of recycled plastic bales. Intelligent waste segregation – Image recognition and robots efficiently sort and segregate recyclables.
