Post-consumer waste is waste consumed, and disposed of, after the point of purchase. There are a lot of companies who focus on at home recycling and compost solutions, and, we appreciate their contribution to the overall goals of a more sustainable future. At SmartSort, we took on the out-of-home recycling and composting needs turning a cost center into a profit center so we can achieve a more meaningful market adoption which ultimately leads to a higher volume of reusable materials for the manufacturing of goods.

Regardless of where you live, we all need to do our part – and – with the United Nation’s Sustainability Goals, the world is moving toward aggregating and monitoring waste on a per country and per continent basis. Our System empowers single System data monitoring and aggregation up to a large collection of individual Systems, linked together across all stakeholders.

Waste management is a critical component of facilities management and as such SmartSort made it a high priority to improve waste stream capacity communications and routing of trash pickers. This reduces contamination, improves overal cleanliness and appearance while ensuring all recoverable and reuseable materials make it to the appropriate materials recovery facility within the shortest period of time.

Sustainable materials management, from a post-consumers point of view, begins at the trash bin. The SmartSort Sytem easily and quickly directs the individual to dispose of the waste object into the appropriate waste stream by providing visual cues. This process aids in our ability to understand contamination percentages and communicate with the appropriate staff to transport the reusable material to the appropriate collection center.
