Environmental concerns have been gaining traction in recent years and the citizens are demanding sustainable solutions. Smart energy systems and waste management solutions are adopting IoT technologies and benefiting from the data collected via the connected devices. Smart grids are especially important in increasing reliability and security in the times of outages, security threats and other unexpected occurrences. IoT sensors are used in smart waste management to monitor the garbage cans and optimize waste collection schedules and reduce litter.
