That's an excellent question, and it gets right to the heart of how effective smart city solutions are implemented. Yes, strategic partnerships with established waste management and sanitation companies are absolutely fundamental to our approach. We don't just manufacture advanced trash cans; we co-create integrated urban waste solutions.
Our role is to provide the smart infrastructure—solar-compacting bins with fill-level sensors, durable public recycling stations, and the central data platform. Our partners bring their unparalleled expertise in logistics, collection routes, operational maintenance, and community engagement. By integrating our real-time fullness data directly into their fleet management systems, they can transition from fixed schedules to dynamic, on-demand pickup. This partnership model means cities see immediate benefits: cleaner public spaces with fewer overflows, significant reductions in unnecessary collection trips (lowering fuel costs and emissions), and data-driven insights for long-term planning.
These collaborations ensure that the technology delivers tangible, scalable results. It’s about creating a seamless ecosystem where innovative hardware, powerful software, and expert operational logistics come together to build smarter, more sustainable, and more livable cities for everyone.
