The project

The Supercontenedor project aims to optimize the collection of the biowaste fraction through the development of a chemical deodorization mechanism and its integration with filling control devices. These will be installed in a container with electronic access, without ruling out other mechanical or biological improvements that could result in a new and improved container model.

Consortium: Wellness TechGroup, Lipasam

WTG'S OBJECTIVES

  • Optimization of the collection of biowaste based on the fill level and the emission of or perception of odours by citizens.
  • Reduction in the organization’s carbon footprint, both in collection logistics and the management of biowaste.
  • Reductions in operating costs, the carbon footprint and energy consumption derived from transport logistics and the collection of the biowaste fraction.
  • Increase in the quality of a city’s urban environment and the health of its people.
  • Develop commercial products with market insertion potential, focused on the segment of container manufacturers, local entities, urban waste management companies and ICT services companies, consultants, etc.
  • Develop potentially replicable products for other cities and containers.

WTG'S ROLE

  • Deodorization system integration with Quamtra level sensor.
  • Algorithm development that optimizes collection based on the parameters of odour emission and fill level.
  • Correlating the data generated by access control - identification of citizens.
