One of the most neglected aspects of a building's carbon footprint is waste mismanagement and poor recycling practices. According to the EPA, landfills account for 15% of U.S. methane emissions, with commercial buildings generating over 30% of the nation's total waste.
Studies show that up to 25% of items in recycling bins are actually non-recyclable, contaminating entire loads. Only 32% of commercial waste is recycled, compared to a potential 75% that could be. Proper recycling can reduce a building's carbon emissions by up to 40%.
Carbin uses a machine learning algorithm to identify the type of waste at the trash chute, nudging the occupants to recycle correctly with a friendly reminder. Our long term goal is to educate building occupants, something we know will truly revolutionize waste management, make efficient sorting and recycling the norm, and significantly curtail the carbon impact of our daily operations.
