Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for Advanced Scraps/Waste Management
Abstract The present chapter introduces the topic of Smart Waste Management enabled by the adoption of innovations in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The complex nature of the waste management challenge requires coordination and collaboration, pooling of resources and support for the definition of global goals and strategies. In order to guarantee the achievement of these objectives, it is fundamental to recognize the role of technological innovations in the ICT field as useful tools to establish active and collaborative cross-sectoral networks aimed at identifying, evaluating and implementing virtuous processes of industrial symbiosis. In particular, the concept of Information Platform is introduced as a potential interoperable framework aimed at sharing, integrating and exchanging information between stakeholders at different territorial scales, with a view to the centralized optimization of information. The approaches to the topic of Smart Waste Management and the ICT tools adopted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Union (EU) are also analyzed and discussed to outline present and future interests and trends. Lastly, the chapter analyzes virtuous Smart Waste Management projects funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Programme.
