Smart DRS Limited is a spinoff of the technology company Sensoneo – global leader in smart waste management and provider of IT systems for nationwide Deposit Return schemes. The Smart DRS company is registered and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.
“We envision a world where every packaging is either reused or recycled through smart, secure and accessible systems that make the circular economy simple, convenient, and scalable.“
Smart DRS leverages Sensoneo’s extensive experience from multiple DRS implementations (Sensoneo’s DRS IT system is currently used in 9 countries), as well as expertise gained through smart waste management projects in more than 90 countries worldwide. This includes profound knowledge in the design and development of hardware and software solutions supporting modern waste management and circular economy infrastructure.
Smart DRS focuses on innovation in collection methods. The company designs, develops and provides advanced technological solutions to enable efficient collection, verification and management of returnable packaging. Smart DRS solutions can be deployed either as a complement to traditional collection infrastructure (such as Reverse Vending Machines) or as an independent and flexible collection method.
In addition to solutions for single-use beverage packaging within deposit return schemes, Smart DRS technology also supports reusable packaging systems, including reusable cups and containers used in stadiums, arenas, festivals, corporate campuses and other controlled environments. The technology enables convenient return of reusable packaging and instant deposit refund, helping organisations introduce practical circular economy solutions without compromising user convenience or operational efficiency.
“We fight beverage packaging pollution by enabling countries and organisations to implement and operate Deposit Return Schemes and reuse systems quickly, securely and cost-effectively.“
The AI-powered Smart DRS technology has been co-developed in cooperation with leading European beverage producers and ecosystem partners. Its design reflects the highest industry requirements for security, scalability and affordability, while supporting the ultimate objective of achieving high material purity and enabling effective circular use of packaging.
By combining deposit return systems with innovative reuse solutions, Smart DRS contributes to reducing packaging waste, lowering environmental impact and accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable and resource-efficient economy.
