Empower businesses in their strategies

The smart waste collection market is attracting considerable attention given its importance in making cities more eco-friendly. However, existing decision support systems generally rely on a limited information flow and often offer a static or statistical approach, focusing on specific use-cases such as individuals or municipalities.

LIST and Polygone Sárl are co-designing, building and testing a smart waste collection platform for businesses. The platform will offer data analytics and multi-objective optimization models that combine business, customer and operational criteria among which data generated by fill-level sensor technologies integrated into waste bins. Fill levels, distances, customers’ needs/constraints, truck capacity, time management for drivers and collection centre position are considered to reduce the environmental impact and to maximize service quality. This approach, a first in Luxembourg, will open the way to the development of new services in the waste management sector.

How it helps?

• Reduces environmental impact
• Optimizes overall collection costs
• Personalizes high-quality services based on data
• Develops new customer profiling models using prediction techniques
• Creates new business models
