Reports are then created to show a site’s waste and recycling habits by day, source and composition. Scanned bins and bags are weighed using integrated digital scales before being emptied, and the data is captured and sent to the app in real time. This identifies and records the waste stream, as well as the source or tenant.

Unique QR codes are placed on bins or bags for cleaners to scan using Bintracker’s mobile app. In late 2020, Bintracker was born from their startup business, Gurru.īintracker is a revolutionary software solution that uses scanning technology to track and report on waste streams within buildings. Holland and his business partner, Robert Gurr, identified an opportunity to make waste reporting easier and more transparent for organisations. Then in 2018, the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) introduced a new ‘Waste Rating’ methodology for commercial office buildings that included a data quality assessment. “Companies were generally assuming the weights of the bins they were picking up, and a lot of guesswork comes into that,” he says.īut with organisations increasingly turning their attention to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprints, Holland noticed commercial building owners wanted more accuracy and granularity in their waste reporting data. After 20 years in Australia’s waste management industry, Chad Holland had become frustrated with the rudimentary methods that the industry was using to measure and report on waste produced in buildings.
