About
Develop an intelligent, automated solution capable of analysing the organic fraction of municipal waste in real time to accurately detect, classify, and quantify impurities.
The proposed solution should:
-
Reliably distinguish biowaste from non-organic materials.
-
Automatically identify the different categories of impurities.
-
Estimate the weight of each impurity category with a high level of accuracy.
-
Calculate the net weight of the organic fraction, excluding impurities.
-
Generate reliable characterisation data to support quality control, operational decision-making, and performance monitoring of separate biowaste collection systems.
-
Deliver measurements with a level of accuracy, robustness, and repeatability that allows the results to be used as an objective indicator for determining the financial return to local authorities from the fund financed through the waste disposal tax.
The solution should provide transparent, auditable, and reproducible results, ensuring confidence in its use for both operational management and financial allocation purposes.
