Lixo provides AI‑powered IoT sensors for waste collection vehicles and bins that capture real‑time data on waste volume, composition, and contamination. This data is processed in a cloud platform and presented via a dashboard, enabling municipalities and private haulers to monitor sorting quality, optimize routes, reduce hazardous waste risks, and lower operational costs.

Problem
Waste collection agencies and private haulers often lack real‑time visibility into the composition and volume of waste streams, leading to inefficient routing, high contamination rates, and elevated operational costs.
Solution
Lixo equips waste collection fleets and bins with AI‑powered sensors that continuously capture flow and composition data. The data are transmitted to a cloud platform where machine‑learning models analyze sorting quality, identify hazardous materials, and generate actionable performance indicators. Operators can monitor these metrics through a web dashboard, adjust collection routes, and fine‑tune awareness campaigns to improve recycling rates. By providing granular, up‑to‑date insights, Lixo enables both public authorities and private contractors to reduce refuse rejection, lower disposal fees, and mitigate safety risks across the waste value chain.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal waste management departments and private waste collection firms seeking data‑driven optimization of their collection operations and recycling performance.
