Making Waste Visibleand Measurable at the Source.
The data you need to make better waste decisions in real time.
We don’t replace your bins. We make them visible and measurable.
Watch our storyTo make waste visible and measurable at the source, giving organisations and governments verified data to reduce waste, improve resource recovery, increase cost transparency and make better-informed decisions.
To make waste as visible, measurable and accountable as electricity and water—building the measurement infrastructure that turns waste into actionable resource intelligence.
Waste is billed after it is mixed.
A kitchen, a food court, a tenant and a loading dock all produce waste. Once it is consolidated into shared loads, where it came from and how much each source contributed is often lost, and later invoices and reports rarely bring that back.
Still identifiable
Each outlet, tenant or zone produces its own waste. This is where Bilqis measures.
Mixed together
Bags from every source go into shared bins, compactors and skips.
One number
A period, a total weight and an amount. The source rarely reaches the bill.
Waste starts at identifiable sources. Between the source and the invoice, that information is easily lost.
- Little measurement at the sourceWaste is often estimated rather than measured where it is produced.
- Attribution lost in consolidationOnce waste is mixed, who generated it is hard to recover.
- Limited real-time visibilityTeams often see figures only after the period has closed.
- Hard to reconcileMatching waste activity with invoices and reports takes effort.

From waste measurement at the bin to visibility in Bilqis Live.
One platform. Two ways to capture.
Bilqis Live brings your waste data together in real time. Data comes from your teams with Bilqis Scan, or automatically from Bilqis Vision pods retrofitted to the bins you already have. Add a scale, and Vision becomes Bilqis Meter.
See the waste where it happens.
Festivals, sporting events and exhibitions, and the venues that host them, produce waste at dozens of points at once, across many vendors.
- The busy hours, as they happen — which stands produce the most waste.
- Every kilo tied to its source — the vendor, outlet or tenant.
- Crews sent where they are needed — before problems build up.

What gets measured can be managed.
Most commercial waste is still estimated. Reliable measurement gives the people who pay for waste, run the operation and report on it a shared, factual basis.
