INTELLIGENT ACCESS MANAGEMENT AT HOUSEHOLD WASTE RECYCLING CENTRES
Recycling incentive campaigns
Another major benefit of installing the ACTAIS® Waste
system is the ability to set up information and reward campaigns,
with the aim of encouraging recycling and the public
use of Gijon’s recycling centres.
In this way, the most active users, for example, could be
rewarded with cash, prizes (tickets, etc.) or exchangeable
eco-points, depending on the type and/or quantity of waste
they deposit.
The system would allow users to receive an SMS or email,
every time they use the recycling centre, in which they are
informed of their accumulated points. There would also be a
website available for users to check on their accumulated bonuses
and the individual data recorded at the recycling centre.
5. Conclusions
Installing ACTAIS® Waste system, as currently operational
at the household waste recycling centres of EMULSA, would
provide the managing company with the following benefits:
1. Generation of statistics on users and waste deposited.
2. Space optimisation for waste containers.
3. Greater flexibility in managing waste.
4. Mobile monitoring and supervision by operators.
5. Enhancement in transparency of waste information.
6. A tool for encouraging user recycling.
6. Acknowledgements
Ecocomputer S.L would like to thank EMULSA for its collaboration in developing this project and its commitment towards innovation.
