Transforming Chutes Into Smart Waste Systems

CHG upgrades traditional chutes with intelligence, sensors, and real-time control—turning a hidden utility into a high-performance, data-driven building system, improving diversion, hygiene, and efficiency while delivering measurable sustainability and ESG outcomes.

By combining source segregation, gravity-powered transport, and real-time telemetry, smart chutes transform waste infrastructure into a reportable ESG asset with quantifiable environmental and operational impact.

Modern smart chutes can significantly contribute to ESG goals by turning a static building utility into a measurable, sustainable, and socially responsible system. At Cleantech Hub Grounds, we measure success through quantifiable environmental and operational impact.

Environmental

Waste sorting & recycling

  • Automatic waste sorting at source

  • Digital tracking of waste output per floor/building, promoting better recycling habits

Energy Efficiency

  • Low power equipment

  • Automation with sensor/boards reduce unnecessary operation

  • Integration with BMS optimizes energy usage

Reducing landfill impact

  • Diverting wastes from landfills to recycling

  • Optimizing trips by bin fill monitoring and compaction options

Materials & production

  • Use of recyclable or low-carbon materials in chute manufacturing

  • Long-lasting, corrosion-resistant materials reduce replacement frequency

Social

Hygiene & Health

  • Air quality monitoring

  • Automated cleaning system

  • Low VOC protective coating paint

Safety

  • Automatic doors and sensors prevent accidents (E-ODO)

  • Fire-rated chute doors, smoke alarm, and fire cut-off door protect occupants in emergencies

Convenience & accessibility

  • Simplified & intuitive waste disposal

  • Automated controls reduce user interaction and wait times

Community engagement

  • Transparent reporting of waste management performance (recycling rates, waste reduction) encourages socially responsible behavior among tenants and building managers

Governance

Regulatory compliance

  • Adherence to building codes, fire safety standards (NFPA, BS 1703, UAE Fire Code), & sustainability compliance

Monitoring & reporting

  • Waste transaction logs, recycling performance, & maintenance activities

  • Data-driven ESG performance reporting

Maintenance & accountability

  • Clear SOPs for cleaning, inspection, and repair.

  • Risk management protocols for accidents, fire, or blockage incidents

Procurement & ethics

  • Choosing vendors who follow sustainable manufacturing and fair labor practices.

CHG intelligent chute systems directly support multiple UN SDGs by enabling waste sorting at source, reducing contamination, and improving material recovery

UN SDGs Contribution

UN SDG 3

Improves indoor environmental quality through sealed chute systems, controlled airflow, and odor and hygiene monitoring
UN SDG 9

Modernizes legacy chute systems with intelligent controls, sensors, and telemetry-driven performance insights
UN SDG 11

Supports cleaner, more efficient high-rise waste infrastructure that scales with dense urban living
UN SDG 12

Enables waste segregation at source, reduces contamination, and increases recycling and organics recovery
UN SDG 13

Cuts operational emissions by leveraging gravity-powered transport and optimizing collection through real-time data

Our Impact

Smarter Waste Decisions

Telemetry shows how, when, and where residents dispose waste—helping teams optimize cleaning, bin capacity, collection, and maintenance.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Gravity-powered, intelligent waste movement cuts manual hauling, saves energy, and boosts efficiency

Improved Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)

Sensors track airflow and hygiene, keeping chute doors sealed, pressure balanced, and spaces odor-free.

Higher Recycling Rates

Smart control logic improves sorting accuracy and reduces contamination, laying the groundwork for zero-waste communities.

ESG and Compliance Advantage

Our dashboard supports global sustainability compliance, municipal codes, and corporate ESG reporting.
