Nordsense

90% of the world’s waste is collected at the wrong time!

Nordsense is a SaaS-based smart waste management platform that helps with the waste collection processes.

Nordsense offers a sensor that can be installed in any type of container to monitor waste level even when the bins use a plastic bag to hold the waste and its user-friendly platform monitors in real-time which waste bins need servicing, enabling cities, waste operators, and waste haulers to perform waste operations much more efficiently.
