Challenges for municipalities

afvalscheiding en zwerfafval onder inwoners verbeteren

Low recycling rates

Many municipalities struggle with low recycling rates because residents either separate waste incorrectly or lack motivation. Valuable materials like plastic, glass, and paper end up in general waste, leading to higher costs and impeding the transition to a circular economy.

High costs for residual waste processing

Residual waste is more expensive to process than separated waste streams. The more general waste there is, the higher the fees become – transportation, incineration – which strains the municipal budget.

Litter that disrupts the environment

Litter—such as packaging and cans—pollutes the environment, attracts pests, and harms wildlife. Cleaning it up costs municipalities substantial money and causes frustration among residents, reducing their engagement with their surroundings.

Benefits of EcoScan for your municipality

Improved waste separation

EcoScan makes separating waste easier, resulting in better recycling outcomes.

Cost savings

Better separation leads to fewer rejects and higher quality streams—saving money.

Less litter

By encouraging users to play a litter-picking bingo, they’ll clean up more.

What others say

“The great advantage is that you see in real time which bin it belongs in.” – Vibeke Helder, HVC
