The Municipality of Mafra advanced its environmental management with the implementation of the RUB (Biodegradable Urban Waste) platform, created by Waymotion to meet legal requirements and promote citizen participation in selective separation.
The Municipality of Mafra reached a significant milestone in the “modernisation of its environmental management” through the implementation of the RUB platform. When the legislative mandates for waste separation came into force in 2023, a comprehensive solution became necessary to address two objectives: fostering public participation and streamlining the logistics of kit distribution.
Platform Features
Built on Waymotion’s low-code WayAdmin technological framework, the RUB platform integrates:
- Processing of online and in-person registrations
- Participant validation and progress tracking
- Distribution of equipment (bins and green bags)
- Documentation of deliveries with geographic accountability
- Accessible interfaces for parish councils and partners
- Direct citizen contact capabilities
- Environmental monitoring dashboards
Impact
The system delivers “centralised, transparent and secure digital management”, improving operational efficiency, reducing the administrative burden and encouraging civic participation in circular economy practices.
Future Developments
Planned developments include the automation of local processes, expansion to other waste streams and alignment with sustainability metrics.
