Problem
Municipal solid waste management faces challenges in optimizing collection routes, promoting citizen participation in recycling programs, and accurately tracking material recovery rates, leading to inefficient resource utilization and increased landfill waste. Traditional recycling systems often lack transparency and incentives for residents to properly sort and recycle materials.
Solution
Nadeera offers a digital platform for solid waste management that incentivizes recycling through a smart collection system. The platform combines a user application, smart infrastructure drop-off systems, and QR-coded bags, enabling residents to recycle and receive feedback and rewards. Reverse vending machines (RVMs) deployed in high-traffic areas collect individual plastic bottles and cans, using AI-powered material detection for automated sorting and instant user rewards. IoT-enabled level sensors placed on regular trash bins monitor fill levels and collection trends, providing data for optimizing collection routes.
Target Audience
Nadeera's primary customers are municipalities, waste collection companies, and community managers seeking to improve recycling rates, optimize waste collection, and engage residents in sustainable waste management practices.
