• Implementing and integrating smart city
solutions in the cities is a complex
matter and takes time. Decision makers
lack concrete examples.
• Citizens do not know what Smart Cities
are about - lack of concrete examples
and possibility to participate.
• Start-ups/entrepreneurs have many
novel ideas, but lack the first market
references and real time feasibility
studies.

SMART TRASH BINS AND WASTE
DATA
Smart trash bins and waste logistics
were tested with 5 housing companies
in Kalasatama in the common yard
areas.
Sensors in trash bins were used to
collect data on waste flows and levels.
A mobile feedback service for the
residents using rfid tags was also
tested.
The pilot partners were able to pick up
learnings how the sensors and service
can be used for more efficient waste
logistics. The pilot served as a trigger
for new ideas and services based on
waste data.

18.
Experimenting with 10 households in Kalasatama. The
application reminds residents about products reaching
their expiry date.
Service encourages to use expiring food and thus has an
effect on the food consumption of the whole family.
Using the app raised awareness of foodwaste among the
users. in some of the households it also reduced
foodwaste.
