It relies on cellular network technologies that offer power-efficiency to leverage existing networks. It is an essential part of smart city ecosystem, which reduces unnecessary expenses due to operational inefficiencies in trash collection processes. It helps detect location, temperature, and fill level in real time to plan optimal collection routes that save fuel and manpower. As a result, it finds applications in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors around the world.
Smart Waste Management Market Trends:
A rise in the development of smart cities, along with the growing difficulty in waste collection, processing, and management, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, the increasing awareness among individuals about the benefits of smart waste management, such as intelligent monitoring, route optimization, and analytics, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, there is an increase in the utilization of sensor technologies across the globe. This, coupled with the growing initiatives by governments and local authorities of several countries towards sustainable waste disposal is positively influencing the market. Besides this, as smart waste management helps reduce accidents while collecting trashes, such as being injured by glass, contaminated needles, and medical wastes, its demand is rising globally. In line with this, the increasing focus of organizations on worker safety on account of stringent regulatory bodies is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.
