Contribution
With the increasing expansion of the Waste Refuse and Recycling industries, HELECTOR (GR), HERHOF GmbH (D), NTUA (GR) and MOTION HELLAS (GR), are at the forefront of Waste Management Solutions and are involved in the field of renewable energy and Environmental Technologies. Our actions focus on sustainable management of the environment and its resources. We are advancing our knowledge by observing human activities and developing new technologies, tools and services, in order to address in an integrate way global environmental issues. The emphasis will be put on tools (ICT, automation systems) and environmental technologies for production and monitoring, prevention and mitigation of environmental pressures and risks including health, as well as the conservation of the natural and man-made environment. Our aim is to develop a new innovative process for energy production by using ICT innovative technologies. Waste Management Consultants, Automation and Energy technology suppliers and service operators and Public Authorities (municipalities, region bodies etc) will ensure durable implementation of the process and services. In addition, research bodies will support architecture development, standardisation and evaluation.
