Municipalities
Leading the Way
in Waste Prevention

Municipal leaders tackling rising costs need an intelligent and scalable edge data solution to reduce waste, lower costs, engage residents and achieve climate goals.

Growing Waste Crisis

Global waste will reach 3.88 billion tons by 2050.

Traditional waste management is struggling to keep pace. Consumer habits and aging infrastructure are driving up operating costs and pollution is harming the local environment.

Reactive waste management strategies are no longer sufficient. Municipal leaders need a prevention-first approach that engages residents and changes behavior, to address today’s waste crisis and mitigate future risks.

Measurable Impact

Our Zero-Waste Launch Bundle reduces 157 single-use plastic bottles annually for the average US household.

Larger households will see HUGE reductions.

  • Households using the Eco-Activators Resident App will notice results within months.

  • Municipalities benefit from household waste reduction: lower operating costs and achieving environmental targets.

Additional zero-waste product bundles will be released mitigating thousands of discarded items per household that you can track in Program Dashboard.

MORE SWAPS = LESS WASTE

Tangible results that even your drivers will notice.

Cost of Inaction

If waste management systems are not modernized, municipal leaders will continue to face rising costs, overfilled landfills, and overwhelming pollution.

Waiting only delays achievable outcomes that would prevent greater damage. Without proactive steps the waste crisis will grow, escalating costs and environmental harm.

Key Differentiators

What Sets Eco-Activators Apart?
We questioned everything about traditional waste management to develop Eco-Activators, a Waste Prevention and Engagement Platform for today and a zero-waste future.

Eco-Activators Platform shifts focus from reactive waste disposal to proactive waste prevention,
incentivizing residents to prevent waste before it needs to be managed.

Waste Management Hierarchy

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prioritizes Source Reduction over all other waste management strategies. It’s the fastest and most effective at reducing environmental pollution and those pesky carbon emissions.

Climate Justice

Eco-Activators Platform isn't just reducing waste; it’s addressing the inequities of how waste impacts the underserved and disadvantaged neighborhoods. These local residents often live near overflowing landfills or toxic waste facilities.

Environmental Justice is at the heart of our solution’s design.

Eco-Activators Platform will provide equitable access to zero-waste product bundles through program subsidies as we grow. Everyone will benefit from better products, air quality and planet health, regardless of economic or social status.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In the Eco-Activators Platform, our edge devices, RFID tags and On-Truck Load Cells collect waste data from households during collection. This Edge Data is provided to municipalities and residents to track, reduce, and prevent waste — changing local communities into smarter and cleaner environments.

    Beyond the launch strategy, Eco-Activators Platform leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze changing household waste to suggest and optimize future reduction approaches for both municipality and resident.

  • Responsible consumerism means making informed decisions about the products we purchase and use, focusing on reducing waste and environmental impact. Eco-Activators encourages these habits through education and sustainable swaps, helping residents become more mindful consumers.

  • Eco-Activators Resident App empowers residents through action, not just information. Our Sustainable Product Swap Bundles include 12-15 low-to-no waste items that replace current high-waste products. By making multiple swaps at once, residents see tangible waste reductions in as little as 3 months.

  • Households purchase curated product swap bundles from trusted low-to-no waste companies through our Eco-Activators Resident App. These bundles target everyday high-waste products, ensuring residents receive everything they need in one purchase. The Eco-Activators Platform tracks these swaps and shows the impact at both household and community levels.

  • We prioritize products that generate minimal to zero post-consumption waste. Eco-Activators platform is built around source reduction, ensuring municipalities see measurable waste reduction, not just lower environmental footprints from product manufacturing.

  • Residents typically see measurable results within 3 months of swapping 12-15 products. Our Eco-Activators Platform tracks this data and provides insights to the household (via the Resident App) and each municipality (via the Program Dashboard), ensuring program success is quickly visible and accessible to all.

  • While individual changes may seem small, collective action has a significant impact. The Eco-Activators aims to reach 5 million households by 2030 then 5x that every 5 years, the cumulative effect of these mass swaps will lead to measurable waste and greenhouse gas emissions reduction plus cost savings for municipalities. Consumer action plays a vital role in reducing post-consumption waste.
