The problem

Waste is going in the wrong bin

When staff aren't sure, they pick the safest-looking bag. Clinical waste costs the most to treat and creates the most carbon.

59%
of items in hospital clinical waste bins were not clinical waste

How it works

A quick, clear answer at the bin

  1. At the bin

    Staff get a quick, clear answer.

  2. Set to your policy

    Built on HTM 07-01 and your hospital's own rules.

  3. Data for your waste team

    See where segregation is improving and where training is needed.

Support that stays on the ward, even when the waste team can't be there.

About
"Before Sorta, I worked in operating theatres across the country for Stryker. Everywhere I went, I saw waste going in the wrong bin. Sorta is how I'm helping fix it."
