Innovative sustainability technology company Matter recently unveiled its new and improved waste sensor, the latest in smart green technology set to disrupt the waste industry and improve personal waste behaviours.
The patented sensor is the first of its kind and marks a tipping point in waste management across Australia.
Previously, waste-sensors have been too expensive and large to roll out at scale but the latest smart-sensor from the team at Matter is available at a a size and cost to roll-out across entire communities - on residential bins, public space bins and within commercial facilities.
With intuitive user-software, real-time data feeds and user Apps, the 'feedback loops' create the mechanism - for the first time - for communities and households to significantly reduce landfill, waste-related carbon emissions and lower waste levy costs.
Matter is currently partnering with a number of Councils and Smart Cities across Australia who are using the pioneering technology on public space bins. The real-time data is helping to improve waste collection efficiencies, lower waste costs to Councils and reduce litter across key public spaces.
On the backdrop of a global waste crisis, Matter is on a bold mission to supply all residential Australian homes with their technology and user Apps by 2025, acting as a key enabler of consumer waste reduction campaigns within the home.
Recycling habits in the Ashburton District continue to improve but there remain exceptions, with one rogue property abusing both the bin system and the contractors
At Thanksgiving, food is the main event. But despite all the effort that goes into buying and preparing a turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie, some 312 million pounds of food will end up in the trash this week. That’s roughly $600 million worth.
Matter acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to elders both past and present.
Work made simple through real-time data intelligence.
