Waste & material traceability solution for sustainable facilities
As we advance through 2025 and approach 2026, municipal solid waste (MSW) generation continues to surge globally. According to the latest Global Waste Management Outlook, municipal solid waste generation has reached 2.3 billion tonnes in 2025 and is projected to grow to 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050.
Traditional waste management approaches are no longer sufficient. Artificial intelligence, IoT integration, and smart technologies have evolved from experimental concepts to essential infrastructure for municipal authorities seeking efficient, sustainable strategies.
The numbers reveal the urgency of our waste crisis:
• 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste generated globally in 2025 (UNEP Global Waste Management Outlook)
• Only 22% of MSW is recycled globally (Global Recycling Rates Report)
• 30% of global waste remains unmanaged in environmentally safe ways (Picvisa Waste Statistics 2025)
• Urban areas projected to generate 2.5 billion tons annually by 2026 (World Bank Urban Waste Projections)
These statistics underscore why municipalities need intelligent, data-driven solutions that adapt in real-time while reducing environmental impact.
Today’s municipal solid waste encompasses increasingly diverse materials:
• Food waste and organic materials
• Complex packaging and multi-layer containers
• Advanced plastics and bio-polymers
• Electronic waste (fastest-growing stream)
• Fast fashion textiles
• Medical waste (post-pandemic increase)
Modern municipalities require adaptive, intelligent systems that evolve with changing waste patterns.
