  • the present invention relates to a Waste Quantification System as well as a process of processing and processing the data acquired in that System.
  • Waste Quantification System which includes the whole process of processing and processing data, consists of:
  • the container contains a user identification system (4) composed of an RFID tag. radio frequency), or other identification system.
  • the container is intended to be placed in a container (2).
  • Antenna placed on the waste collection truck reading containers entering the truck.
  • the present invention is useful for monitoring waste production over time, creating a production history, and subsequently allowing the producer to monitor his behavior, inducing him to reduce, relocate or reuse the waste.
  • generated waste which can be applied in urban or non-urban areas, domestic or non-domestic, being essentially inserted in the area of Waste Management in general, with applications, among others, to the area of Urban Solid Waste, either recoverable or non-recoverable. .
  • Monitoring, collection, data processing and follow-up is intended to properly allocate waste to the producer, avoiding unnecessary costs to the Waste Management System (entity or entities responsible for waste collection and treatment). It is the object of the present invention to collect information that enables the creation of a waste production history, enabling the waste producer to be assisted in reducing, relocating or reusing the waste generated.
  • the present invention is also useful for reducing the costs of the Waste Management System.
  • the current Waste Management System is segmented by type of waste but it can be seen that around 70% of common waste in landfills should be being recycled through other waste segments. This high percentage entails transportation and treatment costs that could generate revenue for the system. Beyond the financial component, there is a question of sustainability; Current landfills were projected to have a lifespan of approximately fifteen (15) to twenty (20) years but current estimates point to a reduction in lifespan to seven (7) due to the high amount of waste deposited there. Although there are several awareness campaigns, the percentage of waste with recovery potential deposited on undifferentiated waste is still high, which demonstrates the need to support the waste producer in closer proximity.
  • the present invention aims to accompany and monitor the waste producer, treat the generated information and send feedback to the Waste Management System.
  • the generated information allows to create an information history and to follow up the waste producer.
  • the advantages of the invention are therefore the reduction of costs for the Waste Management System, the increase of the landfill life through the proper disposal of the waste. waste to the correct segments by the waste producer, generating greater awareness among the population, generating information and feedback to the Waste Management System Manager.
  • the message content has to be adapted to the behavior of the recipient / producer over time.
  • This model installs card reading systems next to a waste container forcing the user to identify himself each time he wants to deposit his waste. Although the model allows identifying the user, it does not allow quantifying the amount of waste produced by each entity.
  • the balance system installs a balance on the waste collection vehicle. This system makes it possible to quantify the waste produced per container but does not disaggregate the amount of waste produced per entity.
  • the scale system also has the drawback that it is generally a mechanical system that is subject to the corrosive liquids produced by the waste (leachate). 3) Door-to-door
  • GB2449710A describes a system wherein the waste producer purchases RFID tags from authorized agents and places them in their bags or containers.
  • the reading of these bags can only be performed manually by an operator and thus constitutes a door-to-door system.
  • the bags are provided to the user with the identification system positioned where the reading is optimized and read automatically upon entering the container into the truck, without the drawbacks listed above in the door-to-door collection system.
  • WO2007136443A2 which relates to a route and asset management and optimization system where an RFID tag is placed on the waste container and the truck has the ability to identify each asset and its location via GPS and then seek to optimize routes.
  • the present invention is not intended for route optimization, does not use GPS and the RFID tag is placed on the container where waste is placed and not in the waste container.
  • None of the above mentioned systems allow, in an economically viable way, to correlate the production of municipal solid waste (undifferentiated and / or recoverable) with the producer. It is therefore advantageous to set up a new system.
  • the present invention is not intended to perform asset management (containers, e.g.) nor to optimize waste management routes, although it may do so.
  • the present invention relates to a waste management system which makes it possible to correlate, economically viable for collection and treatment system management entities, the relationship between producer and quantity of waste produced.
  • the management system of the invention maintains the entire current waste collection system by introducing intelligence and feedback to its operating model.
  • the system generates information which, after processing, allows the communication and message to be given to each producer or producer group to be adapted.
  • This targeted awareness seeks to increase the separation of recoverable and undifferentiated waste, thereby increasing municipal revenues with the recoverable component of urban solid waste and reducing expenditure on waste without recovery potential.
  • This system also intends to extend the life of existing landfills, postponing the construction of new landfills and consequently postpone investments. It also allows waste management and waste management systems to reduce waste collection and treatment costs and potentially increase revenues from recoverable waste. This system also has the potential to create adjusted tariffs for waste generation.
