Case Study: Ekocharita achieves more efficient textile waste collection with Sensoneo smart sensors

Ekocharita cuts textile bin collection costs by 22% with Sensoneo

Ekocharita, a textile waste collector managing a network of 1,300 bins in Slovakia, faced significant operational challenges due to the unpredictable filling cycles of their containers. This inefficiency made collection logistics difficult, increased costs, and caused issues with overflowing bins that deterred key location partners. To address this, they partnered with Sensoneo for a smart waste monitoring solution.

Sensoneo implemented its smart sensors to provide real-time monitoring of bin fill levels, which Ekocharita integrated into their collection planning. This solution allowed them to optimize routes and ensure drivers only collected full bins. The results were substantial, including a 22% reduction in collection costs and a 29% decrease in the time required to collect one tonne of material. The project achieved a return on investment in just seven months, while also guaranteeing reliable daily volumes for warehouse management and improving driver satisfaction.
