Field notes

The page presents Scrappy as a plug-in sensor placed beside a kitchen bin; staff are said to continue disposing of waste as usual. Its sample dashboard breaks out discarded foods by weight and cost, then totals waste and estimated carbon impact. The site also links to an ROI calculator and case studies, whose savings figures are customer-reported rather than independently verified here.
