UAB "VAATC" (Vilniaus apskrities atliekų tvarkymo centras) is a waste management company based in Vilnius, Lithuania. It was established in 2003 to create and manage the Vilnius regional waste management system. The company is responsible for collecting, transporting, processing, and disposing waste in the Vilnius region. It operates waste collection sites, transfer stations, and landfill networks. VAATC also works to promote waste reduction and recycling. The municipalities of the Vilnius region own VAATC, and it works closely with them to provide waste management services to residents and businesses. The company is committed to protecting the environment and human health and strives to provide efficient and sustainable waste management solutions.
One of the biggest challenges in waste management is air pollution and odour control, especially in landfill areas where decomposing waste emits harmful gases. Due to these, VAATC faced several air quality challenges:
To overcome these challenges, they needed a highly accurate, real-time air quality and odour monitoring solution that could provide actionable insights for effective landfill management.
Oizom’s innovative technology has redefined environmental monitoring by providing highly accurate and actionable data on various atmospheric parameters. Our offerings include weather stations, pollution tracking, and noise monitoring solutions. With seamless integration into smart city infrastructure, Oizom’s tools enhance decision-making, compliance monitoring, and community engagement towards a greener planet.

To address these challenges, DICTO provided a tailored monitoring solution integrating Oizom’s Polludrone and Odosense devices at key locations within the landfill. These smart monitoring solutions provided real-time data on air pollution and odour levels, allowing authorities to take proactive measures to reduce environmental impact.
With real-time odour and weather monitoring, they accurately identify emission sources and track pollutant dispersion patterns.
Installing Oizom devices proactively simplified corrective actions and helped minimize environmental impact, ensure regulatory compliance, and reduce odour-related complaints from nearby communities. VAATC also experiences several benefits, including:
Continuously analyzing air quality and meteorological data enables landfill operators to detect pollution spikes, assess their impact, and implement timely interventions.
The successful deployment of Oizom’s real-time air quality and odour monitoring system has revolutionized VAATC’s approach to landfill management. By using advanced monitoring technology, meteorological data, and wind analysis, the organization can now monitor landfill emissions with high precision. With real-time data insights, they can predict odour dispersion patterns, identify pollution sources, and implement timely corrective measures before issues escalate. This proactive approach not only enhances environmental protection and regulatory compliance but also helps reduce community complaints and foster better public relations.
By deploying Oizom’s Polludrone and Odosense devices, UAB "VAATC" has significantly improved air quality monitoring at Kazokiškių landfill. The ability to collect and analyze real-time environmental data has empowered the organization to address odour issues, regulate emissions, and enhance community well-being. This collaboration with DICTO and Oizom sets a new benchmark for sustainable waste management, demonstrating how advanced air quality technology can transform landfill operations into environmentally responsible practices.
