Compliance and oversight

Every report read. Every gap flagged.

State and local governments enforce a growing body of circular economy regulation: recycling ordinances, diversion targets, hauler licensing, reporting mandates. The requirements keep growing. Review capacity does not. Submissions arrive as recurring reports from hundreds or thousands of businesses, and reading them by hand is where oversight runs out of hours.

Our AI processes those submissions as they arrive. It reads each report, verifies it against your requirements, and flags the gaps, anomalies and non-responses your team should look at. Staff time moves from reading paperwork to enforcement decisions, and you see compliance across the whole ordinance, on your own numbers, in real time.

We strengthen oversight. Judgment stays with your agency.

Program operations

Programs that cost less and deliver more.

Running a public recycling or circular program has become expensive at every level of government. Cities fight contamination: material that does not belong fills the stream, and every contaminated load costs more to sort and recovers less. States run programs of their own, bottle deposit systems, organics mandates, producer responsibility schemes, each with targets to hit and a system to coordinate. And for all of them, collection and processing costs keep rising while the market for recovered materials shrinks.

We automate the program, whichever level of government runs it. On the resident side, education and tools that reduce contamination at the bin. On the operations side, route optimization and logistics automation that bring collection costs down. And on the program side, the coordination and reporting a statewide system needs: participation, volumes, redemption, diversion, on your own numbers, from the system itself.

And recycling is only the start. The same approach launches and runs other circular programs, from reuse to organics to hard-to-recycle collection, built by operators who have run them at national scale.
