Sensoneo and Birdz Announce Partnership in Smart Waste

Veolia-subsidiary Birdz, a pioneer in environmental IoT, and Slovakian Smart Waste solutions specialist Sensoneo, announced a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating their joint development in the market of intelligent management and recovery of waste.

Through several dedicated Smart Waste offers like Asset Management, Waste Monitoring, and Collection Planning, Sensoneo can reduce waste collection routes by 30-63 %, thus reducing emissions and fuel and enabling customers to monitor actual waste production with 97% off accuracy. The partnership combines the partners expertise to bring an innovative and complete Smart Waste solution to the international market. The offer will initially focus on Voluntary Contribution Points (PAVs – street bins with either public or private access) and is planned to extend to access control issues, particularly interesting for local authorities setting up incentive pricing systems according to the principle of polluter pays.

Birdz has developed from its origins in the Smart Water market to covering all Smart City issues. From more than 3.4 million connected objects, Birdz collects and analyses 350 million pieces of data every day. This helps them identify the biggest ecological problems and provide concrete solutions.

We greatly appreciate the opportunity to partner with Birdz. They have succeeded in becoming leaders in environmental IoT and we believe that the combination of the know-how of our parties has the power to tangibly transform the way cities an d businesses operate when it comes to waste. We look forward to the opportunities that our cooperation will bring

said Martin Basila, CEO of Sensoneo.

Christian Carrara, Directeur Commercial at Birdz added:

The Partnership with Sensoneo started from a simple observation. In France as well as globally, the current waste recovery offer only covers very little of the collection part. Waste is collected at predefined times which are in fact not correlated with the actual rate of filling of the dumpsters. Optimizing collection would allow communities to reduce costs, avoid unnecessary travel to improve their environmental performance, and provide better service to their fellow citizens to prevent them from finding themselves in front of dumpsters full.

Following the announcement of their partnership, Birdz and Sensoneo aim to launch a joint offer on the market by the first quarter of 2022.
