The illegal waste trade has become one of the most profitable ventures for organized crime across Europe. But now, an innovative Italian-made system is changing the game in the fight against environmental crime. It's called Perivallon, and it’s not just a concept—it’s a cutting-edge tool already proving its worth on the ground.

Developed by researchers at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Perivallon uses a powerful mix of artificial intelligence and satellite imagery to detect illegal dump sites with remarkable accuracy. This next-gen surveillance system is powered by advanced computer vision algorithms that analyze high-resolution satellite data down to the tiniest detail—often picking up environmental red flags that even seasoned investigators might miss.
