Waste Beneficiation

İlker Teknik Ltd. has developed a digital platform that enables comprehensive, transparent and real-time monitoring of waste collection, inventory and management processes across multiple stakeholders. Designed to serve municipalities, recycling facilities, waste-generating organizations and street collectors’ cooperatives, the platform digitizes waste operations and optimizes logistics, equipment use, and data management. The system tracks collection vehicles and equipment, estimates fill levels, and visualizes collection demands on live digital maps. It provides inventory identification numbers for waste equipment, logs operational data (such as relocation, failures, and past events), and supports real-time wireless updates via BLE and MAC tags. The platform also enables cooperative pricing infrastructure for street collectors, facilitates route optimization, records driver performance, and calculates carbon footprints on a per-operation basis. Designed for easy field deployment, it includes IoT integration and mobile usability even by low-trained personnel.

Graduated Man of Steel

Transportation

The company developed a solution E-pacer 100 - a heavy-duty electric cargo bike designed to empower waste reclaimers and recyclers in informal and underserved communities. With a load capacity of 750–850 kg (including rider), the bike enables recyclers to cover long distances efficiently while transporting large volumes of collected waste. Targeting buy-back centers and SMMEs in South Africa’s low-barrier recycling economy, the E-pacer 100 offers an affordable, sustainable transport alternative to carts or trucks, which are often inaccessible or unaffordable. Developed by recyclers for recyclers, the bike supports dignified livelihoods, improves income margins, and addresses transportation challenges in the circular economy. It is a practical tool for those who currently rely on makeshift or unsafe transport methods in their daily work.

Yek Marine

Water Efficiency

Yek Marine addresses one of the major operational and environmental challenges in aquaculture: the removal of dead fish from sea cage systems. Traditionally, this task is performed manually by divers working at depths of 40–45 meters under physically demanding and hazardous conditions. The failure to remove dead fish can lead to the accumulation of organic matter, increasing methane emissions, contributing to marine pollution, and spreading disease among healthy fish populations. The AQUA MECH system automates this process using artificial intelligence and high-resolution imaging to detect and remove dead fish without human intervention. The solution reduces the physical burden on divers, lowers the risk of workplace accidents and helps maintain healthier aquatic environments. Integrated biological and solid filtration systems purify and recycle the water, enhancing environmental sustainability. The system also includes digital tracking for operational transparency and improved aquaculture management.
