Zabble Wants to Play with Your Garbage

This blog post discusses Zabble's team visits to key partners, PSSI, Stanford and UCSF, to observe a day in their lives and how they use Zabble's products for zero waste initiatives. At PSSI, Zabble's team rode along with garbage and recycling truck drivers, observing challenges like route changes and contamination. They learned about the importance of real-time communication and notifications for addressing these issues. At UCSF, the team witnessed manual waste sorting and the need for technology that works offline. They also saw how Zabble's "Alerts" feature helps communicate contamination and hazardous items. The blog concludes with the value of these visits and the vision for Zabble 3.0, which aims to provide more granular insights and proactive engagement for achieving zero waste.
