ABOUT US
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. 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.

Zabble Zero is the world’s only patented end-to-end solution for waste monitoring providing real-time actionable insights with AI. Recently, Zabble was recognized as one of the top 5 startups advancing the circular economy with AI, and has been awarded multiple research contracts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

Leading institutions such as Georgia State University, Stanford, UCSF and UNC Charlotte and cities such as City of Berkeley and City of Oakland leverage Zabble’s products to streamline their waste operations and gain granular visibility into their waste streams to reduce contamination and save money. Join our growing company backed by the USEPA and help us achieve a Zero Waste World together.

We’re a nimble, distributed team, stacked with passionate experts who are committed to a vision of a sustainable future.
