Smart metering infrastructure for commercial waste.
Bilqis is building the measurement infrastructure for commercial waste — making waste measurable and attributable while its source is still identifiable, before it is mixed or consolidated.
Waste is often measured too late.
Waste is consolidated before operators know exactly what was generated and by whom.
Hotels, venues, airports and other large managed assets are expected to reduce and accurately report waste, yet source-level data is often lost once waste from kitchens, F&B, events, tenants and back-of-house is mixed.
The result: estimated reporting, weak accountability and waste costs that are difficult to allocate or reconcile.
Waste doesn’t have to be measured too late. Bilqis captures it at the source— while its origin is still identifiable, before it’s mixed or consolidated.
Measure waste at the source — before it’s mixed or consolidated.
B-Meter measures waste at the point where its source is still identifiable, before it is mixed or consolidated. It creates verified, source-level waste data in real time so organisations can understand what is being generated, where it comes from and what action to take.
Measure
Capture the exact weight while the waste source is still identifiable.
AI Classify
Identify the material.
Verify
Create evidence linked to the measured record.
Attribute
Assign the waste to the correct source, tenant, department, venue, station or account.
Report
Make verified data available in real time for operations, ESG reporting and cost reconciliation.
Improve
Use verified captures to continuously improve waste measurement, reporting and future performance.
Verified data, in real time — measured, not estimated.
Real-time visibility, cost transparency, accountability and verified reporting.
Real-time visibility
See how much waste is being generated, where and by whom while operations are still happening — not weeks later.
Cost transparency
Understand where waste costs originate and where avoidable cost is being created.
Source accountability
Attribute measured waste to the correct outlet, tenant, department or operational source.
Contractor reconciliation
Compare measured waste data with contractor-reported quantities and service records.
Waste reduction & resource recovery
Identify where interventions can reduce waste, contamination and unnecessary disposal.
Verified reporting
Build source-level evidence for ESG, internal reporting and future compliance requirements.
Sustainability is the outcome. Real-time visibility, accountability and verified value are why operators adopt B-Meter.
Impact that reaches further than the bin.
Environmental
Every tonne diverted is carbon avoided and landfill spared — turning sustainability targets from hope into evidence.
Health & Dignity
Behind every waste stream are the people who handle it. Visibility and sorting at the source mean safer, cleaner, more dignified conditions for waste workers — a value we were founded on.
Social
We make sustainability accountable — giving venues, cities, and communities proof they can trust, and a model for responsible events the region can be proud of.
To make waste measurable at the source, giving organisations and governments verified data and AI-enabled intelligence to reduce waste, improve resource recovery, increase cost transparency and make fairer, more sustainable decisions.
Bilqis GreenTech is a women-led, UAE-based climate-tech startup founded by twin sisters Safiatou and Sarah Fomba. Raised across 11 countries and shaped by 20+ years of their family's construction work, they saw early how badly the world manages waste — and who pays the price for it.
The name honors Queen Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba — a symbol of wisdom, leadership, and justice.
Where we've been, and where we're going.
What we've achieved (Since 2024)
- Founded by twin sisters on lived experience
- Completed the E1H Incubator (Cohort 2), powered by Ethara and One to Watch — market validation, venue relationships, and engagement with real sustainability teams at leading UAE venues.
- Participated in the MIT DesignX DXB accelerator program
- Proprietary AI waste-classification model
- Completed QSTP Incubation — June to September 2026 — supporting technical development, product refinement and pilot readiness, advancing B-Meter from research and validation into a working MVP prepared for real-world testing.
What we're doing now (2026)
- Working B-Meter MVP
- Preparing structured Q4 2026 pilot testing with UAE operators
- Advancing research and validation around smart metering for waste
What we're building next
- Scale B-Meter across hotels, venues, airports and other large managed assets — expanding smart metering infrastructure for commercial waste.
Built & supported in the UAE innovation ecosystem.
