Reduce Reuse Recycle SRS

Purpose and goal

In Reduce Reuse Recycle Stockholm Royal Seaport (SRS), a new type of IoT-based digital infrastructure for a circular economy is tested and scaled up to the city-district level. The project is rolled out in collaboration with local property-owners, tenant-owner associations, businesses, and academia to generate technical evidence, and to investigate the legal and organizational conditions necessary to enable Stockholm Water and Waste Administration (SVOA) to realize the ambitious goals of the Waste Plan 2030.

Expected effects and result

The project directly contributes to multiple targets in the Waste Plan 2030 for the city of Stockholm. Enabled by new IoT-solutions the project is expected to reduce per capita emissions, improve recycling rates, enable cleaner waste fractions, reduce residual waste and increase sharing and reuse among residents. The new solutions are also expected to improve knowledge among residents in terms of recycling and the pneumatic waste system, as well as lead to less operational disturbances, more energy efficient operations and improved accessibility of the pneumatic waste system.

Planned approach and implementation

The project activities contribute directly to multiple goals in the Stockholm Waste Plan 2030 and has been designed to continuously report on how the project activities are driving these goal fulfillments. In a preparatory phase of the project the project activities are anchored and necessary preparations are made. The IoT-solutions are then scaled up step by step to four property owners during 2022, and to the whole city-district in 2023. A continuous evaluation of the project activities is made by the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
