The Exhibitors on the Green Footprint feature at the Smart Cities Saudi Expo stood out as a premier showcase for pioneering companies and organizations driving sustainable urban innovation. These exhibitors showcased energy-efficient technologies, green building materials, renewable energy solutions, and smart systems that aligned with Saudi Arabia’s vision for low-carbon, future-ready cities. Visitors explored innovations in waste and water management, clean mobility, and urban greening—demonstrating how cutting-edge solutions could help shape smarter, more sustainable communities. The exhibition highlighted the pivotal role that sustainability-focused businesses played in driving forward the Kingdom’s environmental goals within the broader context of smart city transformation.
Smart waste bins are equipped with sensors that monitor waste levels in real time, enabling more efficient collection routes and reducing unnecessary pickups. These bins help minimize overflow, cut down on operational costs and support cleaner, more sustainable urban environments.
Additionally, they can provide valuable data analytics to city planners for optimizing waste management strategies and future infrastructure improvements. They also encourage community engagement by promoting responsible disposal habits and increasing awareness of sustainable practices.
Smart waste bins represent essential step toward smarter cities that prioritize efficiency, sustainability and the well-being of their residents.
All 264 items of waste end up in landfill, with most coming from trash and mixed waste. Recyclables are present but not yet recovered.
Better sorting reduces landfill waste to 145 items, recovering 119 items from mixed streams. Recycling potential grows.
Waste becomes a resource: recyclables generate cash, soiled paper creates energy and other waste turns to compost moving toward a circular economy.
The system generates 34.8 tons of waste per year, with most ending in landfill. Only a portion is recyclable or reducible, showing room for improvement.
Waste creates 38.2 tons of CO₂ emissions annually, largely from landfilled plastics and trash. Better recovery can cut emissions significantly.
