Precedence Research puts the global digital waste management solution market at $2.97 billion in 2024 and $10.12 billion by 2034, with a 13.04% CAGR. AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The digital waste management solution market is set to grow from $2.97 billion in 2024 to $10.12 billion by 2034, according to Precedence Research. The math works out to a 13.04% compound annual growth rate from 2025 through 2034, with the waste management market already at $3.36 billion this year. North America held 38% of global share in 2024. Precedence credits the lead to mature cloud infrastructure, smart city spending, and government funding pointed at cleaner waste programs. Asia Pacific should see the fastest growth over the next decade, mainly due to urbanization in China and India. Hardware was the largest piece by component last year. Software and services will grow fastest. Vendors active in this category include Routeware, one of the top digital waste management software platforms for private haulers and municipalities. Waste organizations running on stronger digital systems should have an easier time managing routes and staying ahead of the next compliance deadline as the market grows. Buyers want route optimization, real-time tracking, smart sensors and camera integrations, and IoT-connected equipment instead of phone trees and paper manifests, which most operators have wanted to retire for years. Smart cities are also flagged as the fastest-growing application segment, which lines up with what most municipal RFPs have been asking for lately. The haulers who optimized their routing and reporting this year are the ones planning to be a part of this increasing market.

Ekrem İmamoğlu has served as Mayor of Istanbul since 2019, building a model of inclusive, solidarity-based governance that has made him one of the most popular elected leaders in Turkey. In March 2025, he was arrested on politically motivated charges widely condemned by democratic leaders across Europe and beyond. “The heart of the country” “Istanbul is the heart of the country,” says Ambassador (R) Mustafa Osman Turan, Foreign Relations Advisor to the Mayor. “Its economic activity, its population, everything flows through Istanbul.” The city of 16 million people is larger than many countries, and since 2019 İmamoğlu has governed it with a clear philosophy: that a city should work for all its residents, not just those who voted for its mayor. That philosophy found expression in what became known as solidarity municipalism. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the municipality launched Pay It Forward, a scheme connecting residents who could not afford their utility bills with those willing to cover them, creating a solidarity network that won an international award from Bloomberg Philanthropies in 2021. The administration’s work to make Istanbul a better place to live for all its citizens continues. So far, the administration opened more than 120 affordable daycare centres across Istanbul’s 39 districts and now provides free transport cards to mothers with children 4 years old and under so they could drop their children off and continue to work. More than 110 affordable restaurants across the city offer three-course meals for around one euro. Affordable housing for six thousand students was created to address the housing crisis, alongside municipal scholarships to support young people who might otherwise have had to leave the city to study. “He didn’t distinguish between those who voted for him and those who didn’t,” says Ambassador Turan. “He brought services to all 39 districts.” It

Dive Brief: - The nation’s unhoused population was 745,652 on a single night in January 2025, a 3% decrease compared with the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s annual homelessness assessment report. - Twenty-two states and Washington, D.C., recorded decreases in homelessness compared with 2024, with New York and Illinois seeing the largest drops in 2025 after experiencing the highest increases in 2024. - The report said 16,931 fewer people — a 4% drop — sought emergency shelter in 2025, making it the largest contributor to the nation’s overall decline in homelessness. Dive Insight: The report comes as homeless advocates, who favor permanent housing programs, disagree with the Trump administration over how homelessness should be addressed. HUD framed the data as a reprimand of so-called “housing first” policies embraced by prior administrations. “The data is clear that the status quo of ‘housing first’ has failed to meaningfully reduce homelessness, resulting in crisis levels of people living on the streets," HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a news release. "HUD is restoring its programs to advance recovery and self-sufficiency and to ensure that taxpayer-funded benefits serve American families.” Homelessness in the U.S. reached record highs in 2024. HUD published the 2025 homelessness assessment late Friday afternoon after delaying it since December. Turner blamed the holdup on the prolonged government shutdown last fall. Along with an overall reduction in homelessness, the latest point-in-time count showed a 3% reduction in unsheltered homelessness compared with 2024, or a reduction of nearly 8,000 unsheltered people. More than half of the nation’s unhoused population were in one of the country’s 50 largest cities, and 24% were in suburban areas. California, the nation’s largest state, had the highest population of people experiencing homelessness in 2025 with 181,934, followed by New York

Facility and business leaders recognize that workplace space optimization has a significant impact on business performance, but most organizations are not investing in the technology that can unlock value from better space use, according to reports by facilities management firms JLL and ISS. “Most organizations are still not structured to capture the full value of the workplace, creating a significant opportunity for FM and CRE leaders to unlock additional value,” Steve Quick, CEO of Americas at ISS, said in announcing findings from a report his company released. Facility leaders call improving space data accuracy and reporting capabilities two of their top planning objectives, a JLL survey shows. That signals that organization leaders believe an effective real estate strategy begins with trustworthy data, the JLL report says. But cost constraints, and the need to support the addition of technology tools with hard data to prove their value, are holding them back from making the investments they need, according to ISS’s report. Only 20% of survey respondents prioritize those investments in their facilities management strategy due to a “proof gap” when it comes to gauging their effectiveness, ISS says in its report. At the same time, 83% of business leaders believe how the workplace is organized – space optimization – has a large impact on organizational performance, according to ISS. But, against that, 68% say economic factors weigh more heavily on their planning. The ISS survey responses are from nearly 3,000 business leaders in 28 countries. ISS calls the focus on cost control at the expense of better space optimization a “workplace performance gap.” Organizations “are not short of awareness,” ISS says, “but they are constrained by competing pressures, capability gaps and systemic friction.” In its report, JLL says portfolio optimization is the top objective for corporate real estate leaders for the

Shaping the future: why Leratong Smart City is the blueprint for centralised living While the current construction phase continues to create immediate employment opportunities, the long-term economic impact of the Leratong Smart City is expected to extend far beyond the construction site. Image: Mogale City Municipality Phase 1 of the R5 billion Leratong Smart City Development is nearing completion, with the Leratong City Shopping Centre on track to open in October this year. This means that the vision of centralised living is steadily taking shape, says the Mogale City Municipality. Strategically located around Leratong Hospital, in Kagiso, west of Johannesburg, the broader development is expected to deliver approximately 15 000 mixed-income housing units, supported by retail, transport, education, healthcare and government service facilities. Once complete, the integrated precinct will allow residents to live, work and access essential services within a single connected hub, significantly reducing travel times and improving quality of life, the municipality says. But beyond the infrastructure rising from the ground, the project is already creating meaningful economic opportunities for local communities. How local businesses build the vision Since its inception, the project is said to have prioritised local economic participation, labour utilisation and the empowerment of local SMMEs within Mogale City. To date, 40 local companies from various wards have been appointed across multiple scopes of work, including brickwork, plastering, paving and kerbs, electrical works, waterproofing, security, glazing, cleaning, fencing, and civil works linked to the substation. Ward 9 is said to have recorded the highest participation with nine companies appointed, followed by Ward 5 with five companies and Ward 128 with four companies, reflecting broad community inclusion across the city. Jobs and skills opportunities The development has also emerged as an important source of employment and skills development, the municipality said. “A total of 978 jobs

With the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act supplemental five-year water infrastructure funding set to expire Sept. 30, local government and water stakeholders are urging federal lawmakers to reauthorize core water programs and fully fund water infrastructure programs in fiscal year 2027. The 2021 IIJA allocated $50 billion for water infrastructure over five years, divided across five pots under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, with specific funding to replace lead pipes and address PFAS and other contaminants. The National League of Cities is asking Congress to maintain the IIJA’s authorization amount — $5.85 billion each to the Clean Water SRF and the Drinking Water SRF — and reauthorize grant and technical assistance programs to address PFAS, lead pipes and other water infrastructure projects in FY27. “Reauthorizing those programs is one of our top priorities,” Carolyn Berndt, legislative director, sustainability, told Smart Cities Dive. “It’s a critical time because we believe the committees are developing this legislation now.” While the House Appropriations Committee has begun advancing FY27 spending bills, including measures addressing transportation infrastructure funding that also expires Sept. 30, Congress has not yet introduced major legislation to reauthorize Environmental Protection Agency programs such as the Clean Water and Drinking Water SRFs, PFAS grant programs, lead service line replacement programs and other IIJA-funded water programs that expire Sept. 30, she said. Wastewater and stormwater systems will need $630 billion, and drinking water systems will need $625 billion over the next 20 years to keep up with infrastructure maintenance and comply with federal laws, according to Environmental Protection Agency reports from 2024 and 2023, respectively. But President Donald Trump’s FY27 budget request proposes cutting Clean Water and Drinking Water SRFs from $2.7 billion in FY26 to $305 million and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation

Dive Brief: - Waymo will introduce its first purpose-built robotaxis in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles in the coming weeks, the company said in a May 28 press release. - The vehicles feature wide, sliding doors; a low step-in height and flat floor; three rider-customizable LED screens and charging ports. - Rides will be free for select riders in those cities for a limited time, allowing Waymo to gather rider feedback, Waymo spokesperson Sandy Karp told Smart Cities Dive in an email. Dive Insight: A software system that performs better in snowier conditions is key to the new vehicle, called Ojai. “You’ll see the Ojai appearing in more cities soon, with a special focus on those that experience more extreme winter conditions,” Karp said. Waymo has tested in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Denver and other northern cities in snowy conditions, primarily with its Jaguar I-PACE vehicles, which it builds in a Mesa, Arizona, factory in partnership with global automotive supplier Magna. The new vehicles will be built in China by Zeekr, with final assembly of autonomous systems taking place in the Mesa facility. The Ojai vehicle offers more accessible features than the Jaguars, including a flat floor, grab bars and Braille signage, according to Waymo. “The Ojai also features operational improvements, including easier-to-clean interiors, faster charging, increased battery capacity, and a more modular design for efficient maintenance and repairs,” Karp said. Amazon-owned Zoox already operates purpose-built vehicles in Las Vegas and San Francisco, with Miami and Austin, Texas, to be added soon. These vehicles do not include typical driver controls, such as a steering wheel, which the Waymo Ojai does.

The real world is always in motion. To operate autonomously, physical AI systems — including robots, autonomous vehicles (AVs) and smart spaces — need to understand not just what they see and what caused that to happen, but what’s likely to happen next. In a warehouse, a robot may encounter object configurations it’s never seen before. On the road, an AV may need to respond when a pedestrian steps out from between parked cars. And in a factory, a safety system must predict where a forklift is heading, not just detect that it’s there. Capturing and recreating those scenarios in the real world is slow, expensive and often impossible to repeat at scale. NVIDIA Cosmos 3 is built for that loop. The new world foundation model — announced today at NVIDIA GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX — combines vision reasoning and multimodal generation across text, video, images, ambient sound and action in a single model to help developers create world data with physical context. Cosmos 3 powers perception, prediction and action. Learn more about how Cosmos 3’s mixture-of-transformers architecture enables a reasoning block to first interpret what is happening in a scene, then harnesses a generation block to use that context to create physically grounded outputs, from synthetic video to robot-task data. Cosmos 3 is a generalist foundation model trained on diverse data that gives it a broad understanding of how scenes, motion and robotic actions relate. It’s an omnimodel with native action generation, meaning it can produce numerical action data, such as joint angles, gripper positions and trajectory points, that describe how a robot should move to complete a task. In order to learn, robots need more than images or videos of a scene. For pick-and-place tasks, for example, they need action signals that guide how to reach, grasp, move

What if utility poles could be stronger, lighter, and virtually maintenance-free? In an exclusive interaction with EFY’s Nitisha Dubey, Rahul Bandaru from Helipole outlines how the company is redefining infrastructure using corrosion-resistant, durable composite poles for street lighting, telecom, and smart city applications. Q. What is Helipole, and what does your company do? A. Helipole is a brand developed by CNC Technics, a machine manufacturing company focused on advanced composites. The company was incorporated in 1986 and entered the composites space in 2000 with the development of India’s first CNC filament winding machine, inaugurated by A P J Abdul Kalam. Helipole, launched in 2018, applies aerospace-grade composite technology to infrastructure by manufacturing high-performance utility poles. Q. What exactly is your product, and what innovation does it bring? A. Helipole is a composite utility pole made from glass fibre and resin. It is designed to support applications such as street lighting, telecom towers, smart poles, and electrical distribution. The innovation lies in its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-conductive properties, as well as the ability to customise material characteristics for specific use cases. Q. How would you explain Helipole in simple terms to a non-technical audience? A. It can be understood as wrapping strong threads around a pipe, where these threads are industrial glass fibres soaked in resin. They are wound at precise angles using machines to create a hollow pole that is extremely strong yet weighs only one-third as much as steel. Unlike traditional poles, it does not rust, crack, or require frequent maintenance. Q. How is Helipole different from steel and concrete poles? A. Steel poles are prone to corrosion and require regular repainting, especially in coastal areas. Concrete poles can crack, exposing internal steel that rusts and weakens the structure. In terms of total cost of ownership, including installation, maintenance,

The JC STEM Lab of Circular Bio-economy (the Lab) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has recently achieved a breakthrough in the field of sustainable development technologies. A research team led by Professor Lee Duu-Jong, Director of the Lab and Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has successfully developed a bio-inspired "all-weather building skin" that cools in sunlight and harvests energy from rain, alongside a "turbocharged" solar hydrogen system powered by low-cost copper ions. These innovations provide a transformative pathway for urban energy conservation and clean energy production, reinforcing the Lab's commitment to translating cutting-edge research into tangible social benefits. Under Professor Lee’s leadership, the Lab is dedicated to shifting the traditional linear "take–make–dispose" model into a circular bioeconomy framework. "The core of a circular bio-economy lies in creating 'closed-loop' systems that enable continuous recycling of resources throughout the production and consumption cycle," said Professor Lee. Inspired by the layered leaf structure of the Tillandsia air plant, Zeng Yijun, a PhD student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MNE), developed "BRIDGE skin", a paintable, all-weather building coating. This technology enables building envelopes—including roofs and walls — to harness free natural resources to achieve both energy savings and electricity generation under changing weather conditions. In sunny conditions, the coating reflects over 95% of solar energy and emits stored heat as infrared radiation into space. This reduces surface temperatures by up to 9.5°C below ambient levels, significantly reducing air-conditioning electricity demand. During rainfall, the impact of water droplets triggers electrical pulses. This energy is sufficient to power small liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) or wireless sensors directly. Traditionally, integrating electrodes and energy-harvesting layers often compromises a material’s ability to reflect sunlight and radiate heat. Inspired by the stratified structure of Tillandsia air plants, the team overcame this limitation. By adopting a stratified
