Matter Launches World's Smallest Waste Sensor

Author name

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.
