Oslo, Norway – Renovasjons- og gjenvinningsetaten (REG), the municipal agency responsible for collecting and handling household waste in Oslo, has taken a major step toward safer and smarter operations. With over 115,000 bins emptied each week across nearly 350,000 households, and two large-scale sorting facilities at Haraldrud and Klemetsrud, REG plays a central role in the city’s circular economy and climate strategy.
To strengthen fire prevention and protect both people and infrastructure, REG has partnered with Litech to test advanced sensor technology in a live waste stream.

Testimonial
Konrad Palmer
Director of Operations Oslo Municipality and Waste Agency
In just a few months Litech has already detected and removed 300+ explosive canisters in Oslo’s waste stream
Helping to prevent potentially millions in damage.
The Challenge
In 2024, Oslo Municipality faced over 50 million NOK in unexpected costs, largely due to fires, equipment damage, and insurance pressure.
A major cause was nitrous oxide canisters hidden in general waste. These small containers can explode in shredders and trigger serious incidents.
Over 200 such explosions were recorded in Norwegian waste facilities that year.
The Simple Solution
Oslo Kommune tested Litech’s MIS sensor, a modular plug and play system that detects hazardous items such as gas canisters in real time.
The technology uses magnetic induction to read the unique metal signature of each object, even through bags and mixed waste.
It sends instant alerts to operators, requires no extra training, and installs in just a few hours.
Simple to install. Ready from day one.
Prevents costly damage
Licensed and ready to scale
Simple & Easy to install
Ensuring safety for workers
The Results
Big impact — from just 3 of 8 lines.
In our pilot with Oslo Kommune:
✔️ 300+ gas bottles detected and removed before harm
✔️ Live alerts empowered operator decisions
✔️ No new equipment or training required
✔️ Zero disruptions to existing operations
This pilot proved what’s possible, and we’re just getting started!
