Our Challenge

As cities grow, both in population and complexity, they strive to offer their residents a good life and quality services by facing the challenges modern life brings with it, waste management being a major one. Nodra, a municipality-owned forward-thinking utility company in Norrköping, is inviting bright, creative learners from across ECIU to take on a unique sustainability challenge. As a provider of smart waste systems, Nodra is on a mission to make everyday life better by making these services more accessible, effective and engaging. Are you ready to make a real impact on the world? Join us and help transform how an entire city thinks about waste!
