Part 4/10:
A key player in Copenhagen’s waste revolution is the use of advanced sensor technology. Traditional trash collection often relies on routine pickups, regardless of how full each bin is. Copenhagen's city officials have adopted a data-driven approach. Through the use of 3D imaging and sensors embedded in trash cans, they can assess how full each container is in real-time. This data is then fed into a platform that optimizes collection routes, ensuring trucks only pick up when necessary. This innovation reduces costs, minimizes environmental impact, and keeps city streets clean.
