Digitalisation

From digital resource marketplaces to tools for compliance or waste monitoring - there are numerous examples for digital and data-driven circular economy approaches. While this reflects the huge potential of data for the circular economy, it also shows the need for cooperation and data interoperability. Therefore, we aim to foster data cooperation and knowledge exchange among the digital members of the PREVENT Waste Alliance.

Our strength - in our relatively young industry and in PREVENT - is the collaboration and information sharing which is important for interoperability. For functional waste management, we need to ask ourselves, what we can bring into the discussion, and we must decide which information to share.

Improved Litter Monitoring with Data Interoperability

This discussion paper explores how data interoperability can improve litter monitoring. Interoperability of litter monitoring data can improve information quality and increase data quantity. Better and more data are critical for litter monitoring, as waste-related information is currently scarce and difficult to obtain. This paper introduces opportunities and challenges for data interoperability and analyses existing digital solutions to provide best practice examples.
