CLEVER-Volume

CLEVER-Volume

Despite regulations that help mitigate the problem of marine litter, including the obligation to keep it on board ships until it can be dumped into suitable port infrastructures, these may not be complied with, given that the volume of litter placed in containers it is difficult to measure accurately.

The CLEVER-Volume project aims to respond to this problem, providing an innovative solution to face the challenges of waste management in port infrastructures, allowing the rigorous measurement of waste volume, and with the following characteristics: i) capacity for automatic and remote operation; ii) ability to interoperate with other databases; and iii) ability to map waste variables that characterize its life cycle.
