Waste Management by Using Smart Technology Application

The significant technological advances of the last two decades have unfortunately also brought with them a new trend—the acquisition of a new product and the discarding of the old one without further application. The level of recycling of e-waste is very low, so that waste rich in secondary raw materials ends up in landfills or incinerators. It can thus be concluded that all the above-mentioned facts have a negative impact on the amount of waste generation, which is increasing, on the possibility of sorting waste and on the level of recycling itself. However, this situation has a positive impact on the profitability of investment in smart technologies, because it is precisely the massive amount of diversified waste that needs to be efficiently exported, sorted, and processed that creates a great need for technical and economic staff, a very large fleet of vehicles, planning and management and, with all this, a difficult monitoring of income and expenditure.
