Waste sorting: Paprec launches "Montri" smartphone application

Three clicks and you're in the bag. Downloading, like connecting, is a breeze. Then it's just as easy to browse the application created and launched a few weeks ago by

Paprec Energies. It has a number of advantages, not least of which is a better understanding of the nuances involved in sorting waste at Ouanalao Envvironnement's Ecopôle in Public. Information that can be useful not only to professionals, but also and above all to private individuals.
Administrative and Financial Director at Ouanalao Envvironnement, Sandrine Ciminera, sums up the benefits of such an application. The general idea is to help the public understand the scale of the industrial facilities we have at Paprec," she explains. But also to understand the importance of sorting, which isn't just about household waste and glass bottles. "For example, just because an object is made of metal doesn't mean it has to be placed with a tin can. On this point, as on many others, the application provides explanations, advice and assistance.

Time-saving
By using this new tool, Ecopôle users will be able to benefit from a "helping hand" to organize the disposal of their waste. By going to the "my list" tab, you can prepare your box according to the waste you need to drop off," explains Sandrine Ciminera. The channels are numbered, so the application helps you prepare your box. So, when you get to the top of the ramp, you can unload in the order of the channels and empty your box as you go. It's practical and saves time. "
At the same time, the most obvious information is available. Opening hours, rates, information on accepted or refused waste (there are only three at the Ecopôle!), generate an "ibadge" (as "physical" badges are set to disappear, this option seems essential), and even find out how many people use the site at different times of day.This last option can help you avoid peak periods for both professionals and private individuals.
Better understanding and apprehension of sorting also means ensuring the safety of users and staff alike. But that's not all. Sandrine Ciminera points out: "When objects are in the wrong piles, this can damage the machines. A breakage can mean a delay in replacing a part, and therefore a stoppage of the machines and, potentially, a health crisis linked to the storage of waste during the period of inactivity. "

Another benefit of the application is the ability to scan products to find out in which bag they should be deposited. In short, using Paprec's new tool makes it possible to sort waste without making mistakes, facilitate trips to the Ecopôle, personalize sorting and report "anomalies".
A service that will be useful for beginners, hesitant sorters and sometimes distracted regulars alike.
