More about the project
Due to the increasing amount of waste, fires are becoming more and more acute problems in many places worldwide. Sweden is a recycling leader in the world and today negligible amount of waste goes to landfill. Waste and recyclable industry is an established today but still this is a relatively young industry and facing several technical and research-oriented challenges. One of the serious concerns related to waste, recyclables and biofuel industry is risk of spontaneous fires. The project is intended to cope the problem of waste and biofuel fires through early detection of such events.
