Intelligent, circular waste flow and material lifecycle management for cities and national systems

Gaia-Cycle is an AVA-powered intelligent waste management operating system that optimizes the entire waste flow — from generation to collection, transport, processing, and recycling. Instead of treating waste as a burden, the system views it as industrial raw material and organizes cities and regions around a closed, circular material ecosystem.

The system unifies data from AVA Nodes, sensor networks, logistics fleets, recycling facilities and industrial consumers, creating a real-time picture of how waste becomes resource.

What Gaia-Cycle does

• Smart container and sensor network management
  – fill-level, temperature, gas emissions, hazardous indicators
  – integration of all existing IoT devices into a unified AVA protocol
• Dynamic waste collection and fleet optimization
  – real-time route optimization
  – load-balancing of collection vehicles
  – 25–40% fuel and time savings in municipal waste operations
• Material Flow Matrix (MFM)
  – identifies where specific waste types are generated
  – calculates recycling potential
  – maps industry partners that can use it as secondary raw material
  – supports circular economic planning at city and national scale
• Illegal dumping detection
  – AVA Node visual analytics
  – automated alerts to municipalities

Key benefits

• – Lower waste volumes and reduced transportation emissions
• – Higher recycling rates through transparent material lifecycle tracking
• – Significant cost reduction in logistics and operations
• – High-value data for urban planners, industrial parks and decision-makers
• – EU and ESG compliance support with automated sustainability reports

Where it can be deployed

• – city and metropolitan waste systems
• – industrial parks and logistics hubs
• – national waste management authorities
• – circular economy pilot programs and sustainability initiatives

Why it is safe and sustainable

• – integrates with existing infrastructure, no system replacement needed
• – strict access control and full audit trail
• – supports national data-residency requirements
• – energy-efficient AVA/RCF computation (60–90% savings)
• – tokenized energy and emission savings (via CONI)

Project status

• – ready for pilot deployment at city or regional level
• – fully scalable to a national waste management OS
• – integrated with the AVA Platform, AVA Nodes and the AVA Economic Ecosystem
