Lasso highlights intelligent waste management systems at the Portugal Smart Cities Summit 2026

Lasso Eco Innovation is taking part in the 2026 edition of the Portugal Smart Cities Summit, held from May 12 to 14 at the FIL exhibition center in Lisbon, reinforcing its commitment to developing innovative solutions for waste management in the cities of the future.

During the event, the company is showcasing intelligent systems for urban waste management, integrated into its lasso™ underground and semi-underground container solutions, designed to promote more efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced selective waste collection.

With more than 30 years of experience in the sector, the company has been investing in the development of equipment that combines design, functionality, and technological innovation, in line with cities’ sustainability policies. The solutions presented include intelligent systems for monitoring container fill levels and access control technologies compatible with PAYT (Pay-As-You-Throw) and SAYT (Save-As-You-Throw) pricing models. These systems help optimize collection operations, reduce operational costs, and encourage waste separation at the source — benefits aligned with the sustainability and digital transition goals of smart cities.

Among the highlights are also the lasso™ underground and semi-underground containers, which stand out for their high capacity, reduced visual impact, and harmonious integration into urban spaces, promoting improved urban cleanliness and hygiene, reduced occupation of public space, and greater efficiency in selective waste collection.

In this edition of the Portugal Smart Cities Summit, the guest region is OesteCIM (Intercommunal Community of the West). Several municipalities in this region already use lasso™ equipment, namely Mafra, Alcobaça, and Torres Vedras, where the brand’s solutions have helped modernize selective waste collection systems and support compliance with European targets for waste management, sustainability, and the transition to a more circular economy.
