In an era of smart cities and environmental consciousness, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has become pivotal in addressing urban challenges. KORE, a global IoT solutions provider, stands at the forefront of this transformation, offering innovative connectivity solutions that enhance sustainability across various sectors. This article delves into KORE’s impactful collaborations in waste management, and plastic reduction, highlighting how IoT connectivity is revolutionising these domains.
Optimising Waste Management Through IoT Connectivity
Efficient waste management is a cornerstone of sustainable urban living. Traditional waste collection methods often lead to inefficiencies, including unnecessary fuel consumption and overflowing bins. KORE addresses these challenges by providing robust IoT connectivity solutions that enable real-time monitoring and management of waste containers. In collaboration with waste management companies, KORE has implemented smart waste container systems that enable chip-enabled swipe cards for resident access. These systems monitor the frequency and volume of waste disposal, allowing accurate billing and preventing misuse of unauthorised users. Read the full case study here.
Reducing Plastic Waste with Bevi’s Smart Water Dispensers
Single-use plastic bottles contribute significantly to environmental pollution. Bevi, a company specialising in smart water dispensers, aims to combat this issue by offering customisable, eco-friendly beverage solutions for commercial spaces. With over 500 million single-use bottles and cans prevented from entering the global waste stream since it’s inception, Bevi is on a mission to eliminate plastic bottles entirely by 2025.
Bevi’s latest innovation, the Countertop 1.5, exemplifies the integration of IoT in promoting sustainability.
