The pilot project uses AI-powered smart bins from Dutch start-up Orbisk to track and reduce food waste in a public kitchen. The city installed two bins in a public kitchen managed by Servior, the public establishment responsible for housing for seniors in Luxembourg. The intelligent bins pilot project in Differdange addresses a significant problem in the agricultural and food sector: food waste. With approximately one-third of all food produced globally going to waste, this issue has critical environmental and economic implications.
AI-powered intelligent bins offer a cutting-edge solution by automatically measuring and recognizing the type, quantity, and timing of food waste in professional kitchens. Key innovative features include real-time waste tracking and data analytics, which empower kitchens to optimize their operations and reduce waste. The potential market for this solution spans various applications, including restaurants, hotels, and large-scale public and private catering services, making it a versatile tool for promoting sustainability in the food industry.
