Introducing the home waste meter.

Our sensor is like a FitBit for your bin.

Until now, waste sensors have been too large and too expensive to put inside every residential bin. Communities have had no way of tracking their waste or recycling habits, or creating efficiencies in their waste management process.

Matter’s revolutionary new smart sensor enables households, for the first time at scale, to measure their personal waste outputs and provide tailored, meaningful data to drive behaviour change within the home.

Our compelling value proposition...

is to reduce food waste and its associated environmental and financial costs to your home. Combining smart-sensing technology with targeted education and waste reduction incentives, we’re creating the mechanism to compound behaviour change.

$2, 500 per year is
spent on unused food
by the average
Australian household. National food waste is
$36.6 bn per year. 

Benefits.

Sustainable impact by extending the lifespan of landfill sites, promoting reuse and recycling, and reducing waste related CO2 emissions.

Commercial

Improved internal cost control and vendor contract management from data-driven insights into waste collections. 

Smart-billing

Provision of the necessary infrastructure for more intelligent waste billing schemes such as ‘user pays’.

Education

Ability to tailor digital community education and behaviour change campaigns, and track progress using the User App.

Policy Alignment
