“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” aims to fundamentally change waste management by implementing a new IoT-based infrastructure. This infrastructure integrates recycling, reusing, and the sharing economy across an entire city district. The project is also unique in size, and it focuses on behavioural science research. Envac is one of the collaborators in the pioneering research project initiated by Stockholm Vatten och Avfall, Sweden’s leading water and waste company.
Expo Park, also known as Parque Nações or Parks of Nation, is a public commercial and residential area located in Lisbon.
