Feb 28, 2025

Problem

In 2023, the client was looking for an easy, accurate, and real-time solution for office waste data, crucial for tracking their Zero Waste goals. They relied on periodic manual waste audits and manually captured weight data, which were labor-intensive, prone to human error, and resulted in siloed data sets.

Solution

The client implemented Spare-it's technology, integrating WiFi-free scales with AI and photo data capabilities. This system provided continuous, accurate waste data by weight and contamination, streamlining data capture and integration. Within three days, 107 scales were deployed across 28 waste stations on 9 floors.

Results

Leveraging Spare-it's technology, the client achieved unparalleled visibility into their waste at all levels, with data visualized on a floor plan. The system confirmed the client exceeded their 90% diversion threshold, saving time, money, and effort in maintaining their platinum True Certification. Insights from the system fueled an employee engagement campaign, advancing sustainability goals and fostering an environmentally mindful culture. Encouraged by these results, the client is expanding their Spare-it activation across other offices internationally.
