ECO WASTE MANAGEMANT S.R.L.S.

What ECO WASTE MANAGEMANT S.R.L.S. does

EWM (Eco Waste Management S.R.L.S.) is an Italian innovative startup founded in 2023 and headquartered in Biancavilla, Sicily. The company develops a modular cloud-based software platform that digitalizes urban waste management for municipalities (Comuni), waste management operators (Gestori), and consortium organizations (Consorzi, ATO, SRR) across Italy. Its commercial proposition is built around ARERA regulatory compliance, replacing the manual, Excel-based reporting workflows commonly used by Italian public entities with automated KPI generation, punctual tariff (TARIP) calculation, and audit-ready documentation.

The platform's technical core is a data and compliance layer that ingests field data from IoT/RFID devices, fleet telematics (CAN-bus, tachograph, GPS/GIS), and CCR (municipal collection center) peripherals (scales, bridge scales, QR/NFC, health cards), then structures that data into ARERA-compliant KPIs and reports. Add-on modules extend the platform's surface: Gestione Utenze P.A.P. for door-to-door container tracking with RFID-certified emptyings; CCR for conferment tracking with EER registers and FIR documentation; a citizen and operator mobile app; and a Contact Center AI module that handles phone, WhatsApp, and messaging requests via an autonomous AI router with NLP-based FAQ handling and escalation logic. A computer-vision waste recognition feature for the citizen app is described as work in progress. Integration architecture is modular and connects to third-party fleet, weighing, and tachograph systems.

EWM monetizes through recurring software subscriptions on a modular basis, with contracts typically structured as multi-year engagements. Pricing is quote-based and per scope; no public price list exists, and all commercial engagement is initiated through "Request a Demo," "Request Information," or "Request a Quote" forms on the website. The go-to-market is consultative, direct enterprise sales targeting B2B and B2G buyers, with the website as the primary channel and certifications (ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, Startup Innovativa) as trust signals for public-sector procurement.
