Warsaw produces 800,000 tons of waste yearly — and costs for buildings keep rising. With WasteTracker, property managers and tenants gain real-time data on every kilogram of waste, cut costs, and meet ESG goals. Discover how our smart terminals are helping 120+ buildings in 4 countries turn waste into measurable sustainability progress.
Warsaw only generates 800,000 tons of waste every year – three times the weight of the Palace of Culture and Science. Since 2000, these numbers have been on the rise. Globally, the World Bank warns that without decisive change, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish.
In Poland, 38% of municipal waste still ends up in landfills (vs. just 2% in Germany). Landfilling is the worst-case scenario: it produces CO2 and methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more harmful than CO2.
EU regulations have improved segregation, but colored bins are not enough. Waste volumes keep growing. What’s needed is a smarter, data-driven strategy.
Sustainability means focusing on five priorities, in order:
Yet everyday habits show the challenge. A single-use plastic bag for your bread roll is used for 12–20 minutes, but producing it consumes 20 liters of water, emits 50+ grams of CO2, and it can take 500 years to decompose. Paper isn’t a real solution either. The truth is: no disposable solution is a good solution.
For property managers, waste has become a growing operational and financial issue. In Poland, collection and disposal costs have more than doubled in recent years.
At the same time, ESG reporting requires buildings to disclose waste data. But without measurement, there’s no way to know whether initiatives actually work or how to improve segregation.
That’s where WasteTracker comes in. In 2024, we launched an innovative solution that takes building waste management to the next level.
Our WasteTracker Terminals, installed directly in waste rooms, automatically register each disposal by type, weight, and tenant — before it reaches the shared container. Collections are tracked too, with built-in scales verifying every kilogram.
This creates a single source of truth for waste data across the building. With WasteTracker, property managers and tenants can:
Today, WasteTracker is already supporting 120+ buildings in 4 countries — helping landlords, managers, and tenants turn waste data into actionable insights.
