Our New Project
Many businesses lack clear, accurate insights into their waste streams, leading to poor recycling practices, and unnecessary environmental impact.
Inaccurate Waste Reporting
Businesses often depend on rough visual estimates by waste collectors to determine skip contents, resulting in unreliable data about what is actually being discarded.
Overordering of Materials
Without accurate insight into what is wasted, companies tend to order more materials than necessary, leading to higher costs and excess stock.
Missed Recycling Opportunities
Valuable materials that could be recycled are often sent to landfill because companies lack clarity on what types of waste are being generated and in what quantities.
Skip is an AI-powered tool that works with existing on-site cameras to automatically identify and categorise waste. It then generates detailed waste breakdowns tailored to each company’s preferred format, offering unprecedented clarity on material usage and waste volume.
By delivering accurate waste data without disrupting existing processes, SKIP empowers businesses to reduce costs, operate more sustainably, and optimise their supply chains.
With precise data on what’s being discarded, companies can make informed purchasing decisions, minimising excess ordering and unnecessary waste.
By identifying recyclable materials, Skip enables more effective diversion from landfill, promoting responsible and sustainable waste practices.
Skip integrates smoothly into existing workflows, providing valuable insights without interrupting day-to-day operations or requiring major system changes.
Our goal is to launch a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) by late May to early June 2025. Contractors will trial the system to provide feedback on usability and performance, helping us shape a more sustainable future.
We aim to release a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) by late May to early June 2025, marking a key milestone in Skip’s development.
Selected contractors will trial the system in live environments, allowing us to evaluate Skip’s functionality in real use cases.
Feedback on usability and performance will guide further refinements, ensuring Skip evolves into a practical, impactful solution for sustainable waste management.
