The Sector

Waste and environmental services management is becoming ever more complex, especially with the growing volume of waste: in 2023, Italy alone produced nearly 29.3 million tons of municipal waste, a 0.7% increase compared to the previous year (ISPRA, 2024).
Companies in this sector are required to handle increasingly complex infrastructures, energy-intensive machinery, waste collection vehicles, treatment plants, and landfills, all within a context that demands operational efficiency, cost reduction, accurate monitoring, and sustainability.

IoT applications for waste and landfill management, such as those developed by Zerynth, offer immediate tools to effectively address these challenges.

Zerynth Solutions for Environmental Services

Thanks to Zerynth’s IoT technology, companies involved in waste management can:
