Careers

Waste is a sign of inefficiency. According to McKinsey, $2.6T worth of materials are generated every year only to be disposed of with very little or no use. Today commercial buildings operated by corporations, hospitals, universities, etc. are responsible for 40% of all waste going to landfills, but have no way to track, manage and measure waste stream contamination, hauling bills and invoices, or how they are doing against their Zero Waste Goals. This industry is ripe for disruption. 

Zabble Zero™ is the world’s only patented fully customizable end-to-end solution for waste monitoring providing real-time actionable insights with AI.
