WasteTracker Achieves Smart Building Collective | Solution Certification

We’re excited to announce that WasteTracker has officially achieved Solution Certification from the Smart Building Collective.

As buildings strive to become smarter, more sustainable, and more transparent, WasteTracker is filling a critical gap—becoming the first certified solution we’ve seen that enables buildings to measure, manage, report, and verify physical waste at a granular level.

What makes WasteTracker truly groundbreaking is its ability to connect waste data directly to specific spaces and occupant organizations. For the first time, building managers and ESG leads can answer not just how much waste is being produced—but where, by whom, and what kind. That kind of clarity leads to real-world change.

Solving the Whole Waste Puzzle

Before WasteTracker, waste often fell into the "too difficult" box—hard to quantify, easy to ignore, and rarely tied back to actual performance metrics. Now, the puzzle pieces are finally coming together.

With WasteTracker in place, buildings begin to see patterns in behavior: which tenants are sorting properly, where contamination is happening, and which waste streams (general, recyclable, organic, or hazardous) are growing or shrinking. It’s a level of intelligence that turns a once-invisible problem into a visible opportunity.

"We always say: smart buildings aren’t just about tech—they’re about outcomes. WasteTracker is the first solution we’ve seen that closes the loop on waste. It ties waste back to the space, process, and organization, supports reduction and recycling efforts, and even creates a check-and-balance on waste collection. It’s measurable, actionable, and accountable—and that’s exactly what smart should be."— Nicholas White, Managing Partner, Smart Building Collective

As the data comes into focus, action becomes easier. Properties can encourage sorting habits, boost recycling, and even create green waste streams that could feed ideas like rooftop gardens or urban farms—turning trash into thriving greenery.

"Waste is one of the last frontiers in digitized building operations. WasteTracker brings visibility to what was once invisible. It’s exciting to see their solution push the industry forward—and even more exciting to welcome them into the SBC ecosystem." — Elizabeth Nelson, Head of Research & Innovation, Smart Building Collective

Even further, WasteTracker enables a much-needed check and balance on waste collection agencies. Facilities can verify what’s been picked up, cross-check service reports, and ensure that nothing goes unmeasured or unaccounted for in the end-to-end process.

"This certification is a powerful recognition of the work our team has put in to help buildings become truly data-driven in their waste efforts. From transparency to tenant engagement, we’re proud to offer a solution that delivers on both performance and sustainability."
— Renata Hartle, CEO, WasteTracker

In short: it’s not just waste management—it’s waste accountability.

"Our clients want to do better when it comes to waste—and now they can actually see what’s working. WasteTracker has become the link between strategy and behavior. The SBC certification reinforces that we’re solving a critical piece of the smart building puzzle that hasn’t been done before and is now possible with ease and for a reasonable price."— Laura Klair, Head of Client, WasteTracker

WasteTracker isn’t just a reporting tool—it’s a behavioral insight engine, a compliance partner, and a sustainability accelerator. It makes waste visible, actionable, and ultimately… reduced.
