OPTIMIZED WASTE MANAGEMENT
FOR CITIES & MUNICIPALITIES
Cities and municipalities face the challenge of making their waste management processes more efficient, more transparent, and more environmentally friendly. This is exactly where we come in. With modern, data driven systems, we provide solutions that significantly simplify daily municipal operations: From intelligent route planning to digital access control and active citizen involvement.
Our goal: Optimized waste management that conserves resources, reduces costs, and strengthens community interaction.
COLLECTION WHEN NEEDED
Our collection takes place only when it is truly necessary – thanks to real time fill level sensors. This reduces unnecessary trips and saves valuable resources.
SMOOTH OPERATIONAL FLOW
All information and processes come together digitally in real time – for better transparency, faster decision making, efficient collaboration, and less paperwork.
RELIABLE INSIGHTS
Digital data capture provides clear information on volumes and fractions – all displayed in the dashboard and serving as a basis for planning and resource allocation.
AUTHORIZED ACCESS ONLY
Our disposal points are accessible only to authorized users via chip, card, or app. This enables clear assignment, fair billing, and prevents misuse.
ACHIEVING MORE TOGETHER
Through our user app, issues can be reported with photos, location data, and notes – allowing problems to be resolved faster and strengthening community engagement.
GDPR FULLY COMPLIANT
Data security is our top priority: GDPR compliant, transparent, hosted according to EU law, and using components certified to EAL 2+ for the highest security standards.
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY TOGETHER
More transparency in waste management
Those who dispose of waste also carry responsibility. With transparent and digital solutions, we create clarity: all data is traceable at any time. This fosters trust across cities and municipalities – the foundation for fair and efficient waste management.
FAIR
Everyone who disposes contributes.
CLEAR
Everything in view.
SECURE
Reliably protected.
OUR SOLUTIONS IN ACTION
Case studies
Smart waste management in Pula
Since late 2023, the city of Pula has been using an innovative smart‑waste‑management system. In close collaboration with Gradatin d.o.o., a use case was implemented that demonstrates how digital waste‑management solutions can enhance both efficiency and sustainability.
Over 100 new access points
In the Portuguese municipality of Montijo, more than 100 new access points for waste disposal have been introduced in cooperation with our partner WasteToMe. The initiative improves cleanliness in public spaces, increases transparency and control, and supports a more modern and efficient urban waste-management system.
Smart access for greater order
Between 2023 and 2024, Zagreb modernized its waste-management infrastructure. In cooperation with Sotkon, underground containers were equipped with intelligent access-control systems. The solution improves organization and safety while also contributing to a cleaner and more modern appearance of the city.
THE FUTURE STARTS HERE
Trusted by cities and municipalities
across Europe
Our innovative products are already successfully in use across numerous cities and municipalities throughout Europe. These include, among others, Zaragoza in Spain, Pula and Zagreb in Croatia, as well as Hamburg and Freiburg in Germany. Municipalities such as Vienne in France, Florence, and the Alto Garda Riva–Arco region in Italy also rely on our solutions.

Frequently
asked questions
With our central data management platform, you have every location, container, and usage event at a glance – including live status, fill level, emptying history, access events, and technical alerts.
Filtering options, map views, and customizable reports ensure full clarity, even in complex setups. Decentralized effort becomes a controllable, fully traceable process.
If technical issues occur, nothing comes to a standstill. Our systems are designed to be quickly inspected, monitored, and – in many cases – remotely restored. With the integrated Service App, authorized staff can, for example:
• access diagnostic data on site
• perform manual openings
• forward system errors quickly and easily
Together with our support team, most issues are identified and resolved rapidly -without noticeable downtime for citizens or operators. Bottom line: disruptions may occur, but they do not lead to system failure. We ensure containers remain part of the solution not part of the problem.
Yes. Our systems meet the highest security and data protection standards. With EAL 2+ certification, GDPR compliant data handling, and role based access control, we ensure responsible processing of sensitive information – both at municipal and user level. Open interfaces (APIs) and regular system updates ensure long term compatibility with existing software solutions and future requirements.
As simple as possible and as supported as needed. Implementation is designed to be practical: technically streamlined, organizationally structured, and personally guided.
Many municipalities begin with a pilot area or phased rollout. Our consulting team supports you from the very beginning with planning, data onboarding, internal communication, and process design.
Technically, deep IT integration is not required: our systems are preconfigured, ready to use, and automatically connect to the central platform. Open interfaces enable later integration with existing systems (e.g. GIS, routing, ERP). We accompany the introduction with training for administration and operational teams and, if desired, communication materials for citizens. The intuitive design of the Citizen App and Service App ensures quick acceptance in everyday use.
Bottom line: implementation is not a major project, but a well structured process with personal support, reliable service, and a focus on real operational relief.
Yes, no isolated solution, but full interoperability. Our system is built from the ground up to integrate smoothly into existing municipal IT landscapes without special customization. Through open, well documented APIs, all relevant data can be exchanged with routing systems, ERP solutions, or GIS platforms. Additional export formats (CSV, Excel, PDF) and optional integrations with common municipal platforms are available as needed.
Our in house software team actively supports integration, testing, and – if required -the development of custom extensions. Whether existing processes need to be adopted, new systems added, or data streams intelligently combined – we adapt to your infrastructure, not the other way around.
By replacing assumptions with facts. Our systems provide clear, reliable data on waste usage where previously only estimates or experience were available.
Although we cannot yet provide retrospective CO₂ balances or long term savings figures, we deliver the foundation needed for every effective environmental strategy:
• showing where containers are emptied too often or unnecessarily
• revealing incorrect disposal or overuse
• enabling targeted planning, steering, and later evaluation
Anyone committed to environmental goals needs one thing first: transparency. That is exactly where we come in.
TECHNOLOGY THAT REDUCES WORKLOAD
Digital waste management - simple and efficient
Digital doesn’t mean complicated, it finally means possible. What used to feel complex is now everyday reality: apps inform citizens, dashboards support staff, and smart systems ensure clear workflows. The result: municipal waste management becomes more efficient, more transparent, and more people friendly with no extra effort, but with noticeable added value.
