At events and venues, waste sorting is very inefficient: only 30% of waste gets correctly sorted, which leads to environmental pollution, higher disposal costs, and missed recycling opportunities. Worksites and event sites often lack real-time tools to monitor, enforce, and improve sorting behavior.

AIRA offers a smart waste management service using computer vision and AI to recognize and sort waste properly. Their product is a smart bin rental system plus monitoring & analytics that helps venues and event organizers improve recycling rates (up to 80% in trials), provide reports on consumption and waste production, and generally promote more sustainable event operations.
