How is this estimated?
Methodology & Assumptions:
- Typical weight estimate based on standard category specifications.
- Illustrative recovery rate assumption.
- These are illustrative estimates, not empirical measurements.
Actual outcomes depend on material composition, item weight, collection logistics, sorting infrastructure, and local processing methods.

Batch Scan
Capture multiple waste items in a single photo, or upload multiple photos. AI Vision will detect and categorize all visible waste streams into their proper disposal paths.
Effective Photo Tips for Vision AI
Follow the 3 visual guidelines below before photographing waste so AI can accurately detect, count, and sort each material type.
1. Spread & Space Out Items
Lay items across a clean floor or table. Leave a 5–10 cm gap between items so the AI can clearly identify individual contours and silhouettes.
2. Top-Down Angle (45°–90°)
Point your camera from directly above (bird's eye view). Ensure all items fit within the frame without being clipped at the edges.
3. Bright Light & Visible Labels
Use bright lighting. Turn packaging labels, logos, and resin recycling codes (PET, HDPE, etc.) facing toward the camera.
Multi-Item Waste Detection
Multiple Items in One Photo? Take 1 photo of your assorted waste spread (bottles, cans, food packaging, etc.). AI Vision will detect every distinct item at once and categorize them automatically. You can also upload multiple images simultaneously.
Supported: 1 photo with assorted items, or multiple photo files (JPG, PNG, WEBP)
