ACTECO engages currently in integrated management, recycling and recovery process, for both hazardous and non hazardous industrial waste. Its plants are involved in all aspects of this process such as equipment hire, waste collection and transportation, storage and conditioning, as well as recycling and recovery, or, where necessary, waste disposal, thus contributing to a Circular Economy. The company is equipped with their own ADR logistic systems which are adapted to every activity.
ACTECO is the leader of the current proposal and will be in charge of defining the waste management system. This project represents an opportunity for ACTECO to go forward with waste collection in the hotel and catering sector, since there is no company so far exploiting the waste that under regulation cannot be thrown away in municipal containers

EUROSOTERRADOS S.L. is one of the companies with the greatest influence within the field of underground waste containers and street furniture, contributing to the improvement of the urban environment through the creation of clean, modern and environmentally friendly spaces.
In developing the ECO-IoT project, EUROSOTERRADOS will be in charge of manufacturing the compactor-container which will have implemented the electronic system, the sensor modules and the communication with the IoT server.
