In a major technological breakthrough, Matter will be releasing a revolutionary smart waste management system this week, at the Melbourne Waste Expo, which is poised to reshape the way we report and change waste behaviours. The ThinkOS includes the world’s first integrated smart wheelie bin lid with a platform that improves service levels & automates sustainability reporting – simplifying waste workflows for councils and businesses alike.
For councils: a simplified data-driven approach empowers teams to optimise their waste management operations, cut costs and reduce complaints. The technology has already made a big difference to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council reporting a staggering 72% reduction in waste management complaints and a 78% decrease in waste management team time. Across the organisation the system now enables evidence based reporting at all levels including:
- Executive level service level complaints validation
- Customer service team ‘real time’ responses to residents
- Asset Management team infrastructure planning
- Waste Management Team hot spot identification, illegal dumping and service level analysis around optimum pickup times.
- Environmental team recycling planning
And the benefits extend well beyond operational efficiencies and community satisfaction. By reducing unnecessary waste collection trips, Matter’s technology significantly cuts fuel consumption and lowers the carbon footprint, aligning with sustainability goals.
In hospitality, ThinkOS streamlines waste audits and ensures compliance with sustainability targets, reducing operational overheads. Retail businesses can benefit from minimised waste overflow incidents, creating cleaner environments and automated on-demand waste collection. For facilities management, the platform automates waste reporting, tracks assets, cuts labour costs and enhances operational efficiency. The events sector also benefits from reduced waste collection issues, improving site cleanliness and sustainability reporting for organisers.
These integrated smart lids are extremely robust (longer lasting than standard lids), easy to clean and also transmit real-time data about bin status (including GPS location, overflow and ‘bin over’ events).
Matter’s commitment doesn’t end at implementation. The company provides ongoing maintenance and technical support to ensure the long-term functionality of its smart sensors, which boast a 10+ year battery life. This includes regular software updates, issue resolution, and in-field upgrades, guaranteeing the technology’s continued reliability and performance.
As a leader in sustainable technology solutions the company is dedicated to providing communities and businesses with innovative tools that promote efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and drive sustainable change. Matter’s technology is not just a product; it’s a key player in the smart city movement, delivering scalable and cost-effective solutions that are making a difference today.
