DE-WASTE, or Digital Empowered Holistic Management and Recycling of Industrial WASTE, is a digital waste managmeent project in partnership with BNL, an environmental services company based in Singapore.

CMCL will be supporting BNL’s waste management division with operational insights. The waste management sector will be key to delivering and achieving net zero emissions, and due to its interactions with many other interconnected sectors, such as transport, energy and health, it represents an ideal partner for deploying The World Avatar™ approach.

Through this project, we aim to break down silos, further operational efficiency, connect to external sectors and build knowledge and expertise. As part of this work, waste-sector ontologies will be delivered to support data models and knowledge graphs, ensuring data is interoperable, interpretable and useful acrosss all strands of the business.

This work has been co-funded through a UK-Singapore Collaboration R&D grant from Innovate UK.
