ORTEC Waste Routing streamlines refuse collection in France

It is estimated that 2.12 billion tons of waste are produced by human beings around the world each year. This makes the work of companies like Urbaser extremely important to ensure quality of life and sustainability, especially in cities. Urbaser is the largest household waste collection and processing operator in Spain. The Urbaser Group currently manages 40% of the household waste produced in this European country, making it the market leader. In recent years, thanks to added technological value and its commitment to innovation, Urbaser has consolidated itself as one of the leading environmental services operators in France. The company is growing significantly in the French market, winning numerous urban waste collection contracts over the last five years.

Preparing for growth

Urbaser’s French subsidiary, Urbaser Environnement, was looking for a solution to respond quickly to calls for tenders for household waste collection services. They also needed a system to establish a simple and robust response methodology for employees and plan reliable collection routes to prepare for operational start-up. This system should also allow them to monitor and amend routes in accordance with the development of the contract and operational conditions. But Urbaser wanted to go beyond this goal. They also wanted to stand out from the competition by offering technical reports featuring maps and details about the waste collection process.
