Introduction
Mechatronics for the collection of waste comprises intelligent devices that can be installed on a waste
collection container, the main purposes of which are summarized below.
Mechatronics of the waste containers has two main objectives:
a) pricing on service demand so-called “Pay as you throw”;
As for the pricing on service demand, mechatronics provides two types of devices for access
control:
1) systems for geometrical limitation of waste thrown;
The intelligent devices can be mechanical parts that restrict the transfer of waste by establishing a
maximum size. Depending on the type of waste, such as paper, glass, plastic, bio-waste, mixed
waste, the filling apertures could assume specific shapes.
2) identification and/or authorization of the users who throw their waste into the container;
The identification of users allows to manage permissions only to persons who are entitled to. The
identification can occur by means of a card, an electronic key or code or other systems that
characterize a user (i.e. person, family, company).
b) optimization of the service.
The Mechatronics includes devices that can detect certain characteristics of the waste disposal
(detection, restriction, location, parameters reading, etc.) and transmit (or not) information in order to
optimize the service of emptying of waste containers, the purity of the materials collected and container
location. For example, the automatic detection of the level of waste within a container and the
transmission of this information allows to optimize the timing and routes of emptying the containers
operating in a territory.
Other intelligent device can be added such as fire sensors for detecting and transmitting information
about internal temperature changes, temperature control, localization, or any other data measurement
than can be made. The mechatronics can be applied to one or to a combination of these aspects.
Mechatronics allows to achieve a fundamental objective: Mechatronics can help the purity of the
materials collected, as a very important target for separate collection of recyclable materials.
This European Standard defines:
— the characteristics of the “enabled containers” intended as containers designed or upgraded for
installing the Mechatronics devices that can be produced and certified in accordance with this
European Standard;
— the mechanical and geometrical characteristics of mechatronics devices that may be installed on
the container.
This European Standard applies also in case that mechanical devices are fitted and operative without
any electric and/or electronic devices.
This European Standard identifies the different requirements, tests and responsibilities in case of:
— Container in accordance with FprEN 12574-1:2016, FprEN 12574-2:2016 and
FprEN 12574-3:2016 (not prepared to receive mechatronics devices);
