The David with Goliath competition, organized each year by RAISE SHERPAS and BAIN & COMPANY, highlights the best French practices in Open Innovation and distinguishes the most value-creating alliances between startups and major groups. On November 24th, 2022, the first prize of this competition was awarded to Lixo and Veolia.
Thanks to Lixo technology, Veolia analyzes in real time the composition of collected waste flows and draws up maps of sorting quality bin by bin. This information enables public authorities to decide on preventive and curative actions to be implemented locally to improve the quality of sorting at source.
As for Lixo, thanks to its collaboration with Veolia, the start-up was able to adapt its solution to the needs of a demanding field and benefit from the know-how of this leader to massively increase the use of its solution. This is a real breakthrough in the service of the circular economy in the regions!
And this is only the beginning! In December, 10 additional collection vehicles will be equipped with Lixo sensors in the Lille metropolitan area. This will enable them to monitor an average of 11,000 tons of waste per year, which is slightly more than the weight of the Eiffel Tower. Impressive, isn't it?
