Imagine a high-tech security system that uses satellites and AI to spot illegal trash dumping or smuggling from space. It works like a digital detective, connecting dots between online marketplaces and real-world movements to catch criminals. It's designed to help authorities stop the world's third most lucrative criminal business before the damage is done.
Organized environmental crime is highly profitable and low-risk due to the difficulty of detecting illegal waste trafficking and HFC trade. Legitimate businesses lose market opportunities to these criminal entities who bypass environmental regulations.
An Environmental Crime Observatory and a detection/investigation platform. These tools use AI, remote sensing, and blockchain for evidence collection and risk assessment.
If you are a waste disposal firm dealing with illegal dumping by subcontractors — this project developed a detection platform that uses remote sensing and AI to identify unauthorized waste sites. This helps protect legitimate businesses from unfair competition by criminals.
If you are a logistics company dealing with the risk of carrying smuggled hazardous materials or HFCs — this project developed geospatial intelligence tools that track smuggling routes. This allows for better risk assessment of transport corridors.
If you are a tech provider dealing with secure data exchange between government agencies — this project developed blockchain-enabled data sharing for international cooperation. This ensures evidence collection is tamper-proof and secure.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost details are provided as this is an EU-funded research project.
The project is designed for wide-scale use by Police Authorities, Border Guards, and National Authorities across 12 countries, indicating a high capacity for industrial-scale deployment.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, though the project involves 9 industry partners including 8 SMEs who likely contribute to the IP.
The tools are specifically designed to assist Member States with the implementation of the new Environmental Crime Directive.
The platform integrates multimodal analytics, geospatial intelligence, and online monitoring of marketplaces into a single-entry point for the user.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward practical application, featuring 24 partners from 12 countries. With a 38% industry ratio (9 partners, 8 of which are SMEs), there is a strong commercial drive to ensure the tools are usable. The inclusion of 5 Police and Border Guard Authorities ensures the technology meets actual operational requirements rather than just theoretical research.
