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

Product Information

By bringing data to the root of how we manage our waste and recycling we give life to a supply chain full of transparency and accountability. Only data can help deliver answers to the questions around our supply chain. The future is bright and it may give life to a new city where every building reports transparently and with confidence on their waste and recycling generation with zero contamination! Because these rubbish-crunching bins are designed to be placed in public spaces, they come equipped with several safety features. Sensors can detect if there is a hand in the way to prevent accidental injuries. Smart bins can also detect fires and even extinguish flames to lighten the load on local fire brigades (bin fires are a common occurrence when lit cigarettes are thrown is with waste paper). Intelligent waste segregation – Image recognition and robots efficiently sort and segregate recyclables. 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. A fill-level sensor – Detects how full the smart waste bin is and sends the data to a cloud-based analytics platform to alert those responsible for it.

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). Slovakian company Sensoneo combines ultrasonic sensors (Single, Double, Quatro, and Micro-sensors) that monitor waste in real-time with sophisticated software (Smart Analytics, Smart Route Planning, and Smart Waste Management System), providing cities with data-driven decisions for optimization of waste collection routes, frequencies, and vehicle load. What About The Other 150 Smart Bin Solutions?Contamination is when waste materials end up in the wrong place. This often happens with coffee cups. Coffee cups are lined with a waxy coating that ensures your drink doesn’t ooze out five minutes into your morning commute. Many well-intended people dispose of these cups in recycling bins. But coffee cups aren’t recyclable. They thus contaminate the bag of recyclables, as the entire bag can’t go to a recycling plant. Enter smart bins: intelligent waste management systems that use the Internet of Things (IoT) to collect data and maximise space for public rubbish. If that isn’t enough, intelligent safety sensors are also installed to stop compaction if it detects a hand, preventing accidental injuries. Smart bins can also identify fires, alert the monitoring station, and even extinguish flames to lighten the load on local fire brigades. Are smart wheelie bins available in the UK? If you ask anyone in waste management (and we’ve asked many waste management teams) what the largest industry-wide pain point is, they will all say it’s contamination. No overflowing bins, significantly improving public hygiene (no unpleasant smells, attracting pests, etc.).

Smart waste containers equipped with fill-level sensors and detectors with wireless connectivity allow for accurate planning, reporting, and optimization. Smart bins can be a real asset to busy city centres and other high-traffic areas by offering the following benefits: 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. The waste and recycling industry is an old and dirty business, ripe for change. Despite the technological revolution overturning industries around the globe, waste management remains a paper-driven dinosaur of an operation.

What are smart bins?

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. Even though smart bins are only just starting to be rolled out, data captured from the ones that are up and running are already proving invaluable.
