Purpose, mission, values
Our mission is to enable a world without waste.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to enable a world without waste. We believe technology holds the promise of decoupling the world’s potential from environmental harm.
OUR PURPOSE
Technology unlocks constraints
We believe technology unlocks constraints in the waste industry, and use it—namely, artificial intelligence and robotics—to pursue our mission. We apply machine learning to differentiate waste, a core capability that has been missing from the industry. By creating sensing mechanisms for waste, we can bring a wide assortment of developments already advancing in other industries to benefit the recycling industry, develop novel devices that solve key constraints, and introduce transparency to the industry to help society improve its environmental stewardship.
We take pride in what we do and what we make possible—from the effectiveness, reliability, and continuous improvement of our solutions to the people who stand behind them. But what matters and motivates us most is how we help customers build a better world.
OUR VALUES
Optimism.
Our concern about humans’ environmental impact is matched by our belief that it’s something we can change. We thrive on shifting what’s possible and working toward a reality that otherwise wouldn’t exist. Technology enables our ambition, giving us the power to do meaningful good in and for the world.
Urgency.
We see the world not for what it is today, but for what it could be—and we’re restless and eager to get there. We gain knowledge from implementation and build our reputation by shipping, so we prioritize bringing ideas to testable concepts and deploying technology to the field, executing quickly and then iteratively improving.
Resourcefulness.
As individuals and teammates, we develop new tools, methods, and approaches to solve problems quickly and show what’s possible. With the right insights, algorithms, engineering, and experience, we can be a force for change, incentivize protection of global ecosystems, and create lasting solutions.
Determination.
We recognize real change comes from confronting and overcoming difficult challenges. We aren't deterred when something is harder than anticipated and understand that persistence creates meaningful change.
Sincerity.
Building great technology that operates in tough environments involves some inevitable failures. Transparency, shared ownership, and open communication creates alignment, which helps us share in our challenges, work together to overcome them, and move forward.
