Talks that connect industry experience with the questions shaping the future.

Digitalisation, artificial intelligence and the circular economy matter when technology translates into consequences for strategy, operations and business models. That is where the keynotes begin.

Not a technology show. Questions that stay with the audience.

The talks combine more than three decades of waste-management experience with current technological developments, clear propositions and concrete industry examples. The aim is not to present ready-made answers, but to trigger discussion and prepare better decisions.

Topics, depth and emphasis can be adapted to the event, audience and purpose.

The presentation decks shown on this page are currently in German. English-language keynotes are available on request.

Strategic keynote

Digitalisation in waste management

Foundations, trends and perspectives

Digitalisation is more than sensors, apps and dashboards. The keynote moves from innovation and disruption to platform economics, data and service promises – and ultimately to the question of who will own the customer interface in waste management.

Digitalisation

Disruption

Platform economics

Customer centricity

Keynote · optional live demonstration

Artificial intelligence in waste management

From hype to operational value

What can AI actually deliver today? The keynote moves from analytical, generative and agentic AI to concrete levers in collection, fleets, plants and administration. The focus is on cost, productivity, quality and speed – not AI hype.

Generative AI

Agentic AI

Productivity

Operational use

An optional live demonstration of AI-assisted tender analysis with tendercheck can be integrated.

Discussion impulse

Incentivising recyclable-material returns

A disruptive perspective on waste fees and collection systems

The talk deliberately asks an uncomfortable question: should citizens merely avoid fees – or could high-quality separation behaviour be actively rewarded? The model is presented as a discussion stimulus, including its legal, operational and social objections.

Circular economy

Citizen incentives

Fee models

Disruption

From perspective to application

A keynote can trigger discussion. The next step is turning insight into action.
