Building on this success, SmartBin is actively expanding its technological offerings, with ongoing development in machine learning-based sensors for waste type identification to further enhance efficiency and prevent contamination.

SmartBin’s business model is predicated on a monthly subscription fee, supplemented by one-time setup costs for sensor installation. This strategy not only ensures a steady revenue stream but also provides waste management companies with the flexibility to upscale their services based on demand. The company targets waste management companies across North America, with a keen focus on small to medium-sized enterprises in Canada as its initial market.

The company is co-founded by Aneesh Raghupathy, a recent graduate with a background in Computer Science and Economics, and Niraj Shukla, an experienced business development executive. Together, they bring a combination of technological innovation and strategic business acumen to the company. With the support of grants, funding, and a dedicated team, SmartBinSensor Technologies Inc. is poised for rapid growth, aiming to implement its SmartBin system across a significant portion of Canada’s waste collection services, thereby contributing to the country’s environmental sustainability goals.

In anticipation of scaling up for commercial deployment, SmartBin is enhancing its product lineup and expanding its team to include roles such as Technical Product Manager and Full Stack Developer. The company’s strategy includes refining its hardware for commercial-scale production, enhancing data quality, and preparing for a broader market launch.
