Data-driven waste management solutions

Why work hard, when you can work smart?

Ecube Labs' smart IoT-based solution optimizes waste collection planning, resulting in direct cost savings, a greener environment and cleaner cities.

Dynamic routing

The solution optimizes waste collection routes and schedules based on real-time and historical data, provides predictive analytics to enable decision making ahead of time, and offers consultation on waste bin allocations.

Cost reduction

Our smart waste logistics solution reduces waste collection frequency dramatically, which enables you to save on fuel, labor, and fleet maintenance costs. Altogether the solution can reduce your operational costs by up to 80%.

Improved cleanliness

In densely populated areas, a rapid waste generation often leads to overflowing waste bins and unsightly streets. Our solution enables waste collection staff to read fill-levels in real time and receive notifications of waste overflows.

CO₂ reduction

Collecting garbage is a very pollutant heavy proposition. Our solution offers you the means to have less trucks on the road for less time, which means less greenhouse gas emissions, less noise pollution, and less road wear.

Our integrated line of products

CleanCUBE Solar-powered waste compacting bin

Holds up to 8 times more waste than standard bins

CleanCUBE features a built-in, patented solar-powered trash compactor which triggers automatically based on the bin's fill-level. It is compatible with standard 120L and 240L wheelie bins for easy and safe trash removal.

Communicates wirelessly with data analytics platform

CleanCUBE sends real-time information to CleanCityNetworks monitoring and data-analytics platform through wireless data transmission using 2G/3G networks. The software enables our customers to optimize their waste collection operations through data-driven decision making.

Provides numerous customization options

CleanCUBE is always custom built to meet our customers' requests. It is available in three sizes (100L, 120L, 240L) and can be equipped with a foot pedal and hopper for increased cleanliness and safety. Other options include Wi-Fi hotspot, LED/LCD screens, and hybrid power supply.

Generates additional revenue through advertising

The entire bin may be wrapped and printed for marketing purposes, such as promoting new initiatives and encouraging recycling. What's more, CleanCUBE can be equipped with LED and LCD screens to generate additional revenue through advertising.

Is built with safety and durability as top priorities

CleanCUBE features built-in safety sensors for hand detection and fire detection. The device is manufactured using anti-theft screws and temper proof materials, and comes with a built-in GPS, so that users can always monitor its location.

CleanFLEX Wireless ultrasonic fill-level sensor

Can be attached to any type of bin, container, or tank

CleanFLEX fill-level sensor can be mounted on any type of bin, container, or tank. If the container is made of plastic, the device can be mounted by screwing. For steel containers, CleanFLEX can be fixed to the container's lid using brackets.

Senses both solid and liquid materials

CleanFLEX's ultrasonic sensor enables it to detect both solids (general waste, paper, glass, e-waste, textile, etc.) and liquids (oil, sludge, agriculture products, etc.). The range of distance can cover between 30 cm - 400 cm (4 m / 13 ft).

Communicates wirelessly with data analytics platform

CleanFLEX sends real-time information to CleanCityNetworks monitoring and data-analytics platform through wireless data transmission using 2G/3G networks. The software enables our customers to optimize their waste collection operations through data-driven decision making.

Is built for durability and extreme environments

CleanFLEX has been tested to push the limits of its operability in conjuction with its battery life. It is completely enclosed and protected against dust and water, has a battery life of up to 10 years, and can operate in temperatures from -30 C (-22 F) to 80 C (176 F).

Basic specifications

	CleanFLEX
Power	3.6V high performance lithium battery
Size (H x W x L)	80mm x 85mm x 52mm (3.15in. x 3.35in. x 2.05in.)
Net weight	300g (0.66 lbs.)
Battery life	Up to 5 years (replaceable)

Ideal locations

CleanFLEX's value lies in detecting the fill-level of any type of substance or waste. It is designed especially for areas where waste containers are located far apart or in remote locations. Other suitable application areas include underground dumpsters, oil tanks, septic tanks and water towers.

CleanCityNetworks (CCN) Real-time monitoring and data analytics platform

Product features
Product video

Monitors container's fill-level and status in real time

CCN generates an intelligent group of data by processing various types of information received from CleanCUBE and CleanFLEX. By accessing the information regarding individual container's fill-level, compaction history, battery capacity, and more, users can track assigned containers in real time with ease.

Optimizes routes and schedules using predictive algorithms

CCN calculates the shortest routes for each unique collection and provides dynamic collection schedules using predictive algorithms. This enables users to make data-driven decisions ahead of time. In addition, CCN sends notifications informing of when and where collections are required.

Generates data analytics reports

CCN provides historical insight on waste generation, waste overflow, and collection performance. By identifying the areas with the highest waste generation and regular waste overflow incidents, users can focus their resources more efficiently.

Provides bin allocation consultation

CCN recommends the optimal number of bins to be installed using historical data. This feature allows users to synchronize the regional filling patterns, so that all bins become full approximately same time, reducing the amount of collection trips.

What our customers say about us

Dublin Airport

After deploying the solution, we have been able to go from collecting 840 containers 4 times a day to collecting just 80 containers a day. This has increased our operational efficiency upwards of 90% and resulted in significant cost savings.

Facility Management, Dublin Airport

Seoul Metropolitan Government

Unlike the traditional way of collecting general waste and recycling materials, the new way of managing our bins using Ecube Labs' monitoring system not only reduced our collection costs by 83%, but also eliminated waste overflow, as well.

Waste collection staff, Seoul Metropolitan Government

Korea University

By installing just 144 CleanCUBEs, we managed to replace over 400 traditional bins. Waste collection costs have reduced by 86%, and public areas are cleaner than ever. The waste collection workers find using the monitoring system to be convenient, and it allows them to provide better service much more efficiently.

Bukchon Traditional Village

Before, we didn't know when the trash bins in Bukchon became full. Now, we know in real-time the fill-level of each bin, thanks to Ecube Labs' solution. Since we're able to quickly take action before any problem occurs, there are no longer any issues with garbage overflow.
