Abstract
Rapid urbanization caused important economic, social and demographic transformations. Therefore, smart cities are emerging all around Europe, claiming to be the future of urban areas strategies. Due to a lack of agreed definition, this study identifies smart city or region’s characteristics and emphasizes the importance of digitalization in waste management processes. A case study will be used to understand organizations’ main challenges and key success factors and create a guideline for waste management actors willing to shift towards smart processes. In collaboration with a Dutch waste management company, the aim is to draw recommendations for any waste organization and guide the mentioned company in its willingness to develop a Smart Region initiative. The findings depict the motivations and smart objectives of the actors and insist on the importance of collaboration along with digital tools and processes, to achieve their goals. The benefits and limits of digital transformation are also discussed.
