WHAT’S NEW?
DATA-LED SCANDINAVIAN WASTE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY NOW AN OPTION FOR UK
FACILITIES MANAGERS Norwegian technology provider, REEN, has brought its intelligent waste management systems, combining world-class sensors and intelligent cloud-based tools, to the United Kingdom.
The company already has an extensive customer base across Norway, Finland and Sweden and is now expanding its data-led technology offering to help facility managers in the UK streamline the way waste is collected and transported around the country.
REEN offers intelligent inventory management services that combine fill level sensors and QR-codes for quick asset identification. REEN technology also tracks the life cycles of collectables to ensure that the measured weight-to-volume ratios are on par with desired KPIs, resulting in better cost control.
For organisations managing waste management fleets, REEN’s multipurpose data capturing sensors calculate ideal routes in real-time by interpreting data variables like time, location, traffic, vehicle capacity and vehicle type. This data-driven route planning can reduce idling, fuel consumption, driving time, vehicle wear and tear
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PLAN COULD PUT UK BACK ON TRACK
The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) has welcomed parts of the government’s updated Net Zero Growth Plan, particularly those that focus on improving the energy efficiency of buildings and reducing the price gap between gas and electricity.
In its ‘Powering up Britain’ document, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero sets out a range of measures aimed at addressing the 20% of total UK emissions that are accounted for by buildings.

It acknowledges that these emissions have risen by 5% since 2019, but that they could fall by between 7% and 17% by 2027 and by up to 61% by 2037. This would depend on the success of new
Lee Wheatley, Service Manager at Derby City Council said: “The REEN system has helped us track when bins are full. With the old system, we would typically drive all around the city emptying bins on that frequency whether that bin was full or not.
“The REEN system tells us when a bin is getting full and when the bin is likely to need collecting and on what day. So, it helps reduce the number of wasted journeys, cuts down on fuel, helps relieve officer time for other activities and can help with things like overtime.”
Piers Barron, REEN’s Chief Sales Officer, said: “Technology within the waste management industry is really developing quickly. Used in the right way, it can add enormous value in terms of efficiency and sustainability, as well as significant cost savings.
and overall CO2 emissions for fleets, as well as generating automatic quality and compliance reports.
Despite being new to the UK market, the company is already making an impact. Using fill level data and predictive algorithms, REEN has overhauled the daily collection processes for Salford City Council, generating an anticipated time saving of approximately 30% within the first six months of operation. REEN technology has also helped Deby City Council reduce the number of visits to bins from its waste management fleet by 53%.
“REEN has enjoyed remarkable success across Scandinavia by helping companies streamline the way their waste is transported and collected. We’ve been delighted to see these achievements already begin to be replicated for a small number of UK local authorities and the team is excited to increase its customer base across the country even further.”

and existing initiatives including a ‘Great British Insulation Scheme’ designed to help the 300,000 worst performing homes become more energy efficient and a plan to phase out new and replacement gas boilers by 2035.
BESA applauded the extension of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to 2028 and a £30m Heat Pump Investment Accelerator fund to support the industry’s supply chain and help drive heat pump installations towards the target figure of 600,000 a year.
