ECOSUNT is the first integrated Romanian software designed for companies in the waste management sector. Environmental protection has become a huge challenge and a topic of general interest. Currently, waste represents a major problem for our planet, affecting everyone, as inadequate waste management has extremely harmful effects on the environment.
In recent years, the amount of waste has been increasing rapidly, directly proportional to the rise in living standards, with an increasingly pronounced negative impact on the environment. The more we consume and use newer and more advanced technological products, the more materials need to be recycled or disposed of.
A few figures significantly illustrate these realities:
- Each European citizen produces an average of 0.5 tons of waste annually.
- Approximately 3 billion tons of waste are generated annually in the European Union.
- Goods producers generate about 360 million tons of waste.
- The construction sector produces over 900 million tons of waste.
- Energy and water providers generate around 95 million tons of waste.
- According to Eurostat, Romania recycles only 3% of its municipal waste.
- As a national objective, Romania must reach a 50% recycling rate by 2020.
Thus, waste management has become a key element for ensuring sustainable growth in the economies of European countries.
For any company dealing with waste, a high-performance IT system is more necessary than ever.
ECOSUNT, the software developed by SIMAVI, complies with European legislation and covers the entire process that waste must go through, addressing the specific needs of companies in the sector operating in Romania. It is a user-friendly web-based solution, with the possibility of being used in the Cloud (Amazon). Thus, the application offers organizations involved in waste management a significant reduction in IT infrastructure costs. Additionally, cloud services provide unlimited storage space and permanent data protection.
With the help of the ECOSUNT application, companies can monitor:
- Waste generation
- Waste collection
- Waste transportation
- Waste treatment
- Waste disposal by authorized firms
- Waste recovery through authorized firms
- Reporting: to ANPM (National Environmental Protection Agency and County Agencies), to ADIs (Intercommunity Development Associations), to County Councils, according to concession contracts.
ECOSUNT is also a statistical tool that provides accurate data on waste generation and management. This allows the evaluation, at any time, of the situation and objectives of a waste management company.
