Waste/Recycling
For cisterns, tanks, and other waste containers, it’s extra important to have continuous control of the degree of filling.
Waste / Recycling
Moving from waste to resource was one of the main goals when the EU adopted the so-called waste package in 2018. The aim is less waste, more reuse of products, more recycling overall and better waste management.
With well-functioning fill level monitoring, it is easy to keep full control – whether it’s liquids, gases or solids. As the person responsible, you know in good time when the waste needs to be collected. The system also enables optimised logistics planning, which in turn can reduce your carbon footprint.
Smarter and better transport
With the right system, it is easy to optimise logistics, as you can more easily plan transport together with your waste management company. And remember: recycling is not the only way to reduce your carbon footprint. You also need to minimise unnecessary transport – only then do you make a difference throughout the chain. MCD has worked in the waste segment for almost 10 years, with some of the largest players in the Nordic market – our systems have simplified and streamlined operations for waste management companies.
Monitoring system for hazardous waste
In Sweden, everyone who produces, transports or handles hazardous waste must now report this to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). In some cases, this reporting must be done more or less immediately. For example, requirements for protective measures and documentation already apply from 150 litres of waste oil in a tank or loose container – read more about where the limit is and what is required of your business (in Swedish). With a smart, cloud-based level monitoring system, this becomes easy – for waste producers, waste management companies and those transporting the waste.
It also becomes much easier to keep full control and to know when containers need emptying. The haulier can easily plan logistics and keep track of how much is collected and taken away.
Easy compliance with hazardous waste regulations
Hazardous waste contains or consists of substances with hazardous properties. Because the waste is hazardous, it is important that it is handled correctly. Hazardous waste is therefore subject to a wide range of regulations – in Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is one of the authorities responsible. Since November 2020, businesses there must report their recorded information on hazardous waste to a new waste register. With a well-functioning level monitoring system, you as the person responsible have full control over your hazardous waste containers. You know how much hazardous waste there is and how much is added or taken away.
Hazardous waste includes both oily liquids and other process industry materials. It also includes a range of chemicals, for example from the process industry.
Monitor the spillage and reduce costs
We offer you full control of your levels in spill oil containers and cisterns. Smart level monitoring gives you a worry-free everyday life. Which in turn means that you save both time and money. It is vital to know your amounts of spill oils and oil waste. And that your monitoring is done safely – always giving you a good general overview. In addition, monitoring is sustainably smart, as full control lets you know when containers need to be emptied. You can plan for transports in good time, knowing that your work meets the requirements for sustainability and of course required monitoring of hazardous waste. If you’re the manager of the collection of oil waste, you can also more easily plan your customer routes.
