Across the UK, the way buildings handle waste is undergoing its biggest shift in decades. With Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) becoming mandatory by October 2026, organisations can no longer rely on manual logs, spreadsheets, or broad assumptions. The industry is shifting toward transparency, verification, and defensible evidence, not guesses.

Preparing for this change is not just about compliance. It’s about precision, accountability, and operational intelligence built directly into the heart of building operations.

This is the exact problem Wastify AI solves.

How Wastify AI RFID-enabled bags and optional kiosk give you a compliance-ready chain of custody long before regulations arrive.

Wastify AI: The First Platform Built Around RFID-Enabled Bags

While many systems rely on manual classification or generic weight logs, Wastify AI redefines waste tracking at the source, through RFID-enabled bags.

Each bag contains a unique RFID identifier, allowing the system to:

• Assign exact waste stream
• Capture precise weight
• Log disposal time
• Link actions to specific tenants or floors
• Maintain a complete digital chain of custody

But the breakthrough is not only the bags themselves, it’s the way Wastify AI validates them in real time through its optional RFID-enabled kiosk.

The Problem With Manual Waste Classification

Almost every commercial building faces the same issue:

Waste is misclassified at the source.

• Recyclables end up in general waste.
• General waste sneaks into recycling.
• Contamination increases.
• Reporting becomes unreliable.
• Contractor fees climb.
• ESG targets become harder to meet.

And because most systems only track waste after it’s been collected, the underlying behaviours never surface.

Wastify AI changes this by validating bags, before they’re moved, mixed or collected.

Intelligence at the Point of Disposal

Instead of relying on bins equipped with sensors (which Wastify AI does not use), Wastify AI uses a smart, optional RFID kiosk to validate bags the moment they enter the waste workflow.

When a bag is scanned at the kiosk:

• The RFID tag is read instantly
• The waste stream is validated
• The weight is recorded
• The disposal is mapped to a location or tenant
• A tamper-proof audit trail is created
• Misclassification is detected immediately

This is true real-time intelligence, not reactive reporting.

The kiosk becomes the digital checkpoint that ensures every bag is authenticated, stream-verified, and compliant before it continues its journey.

Experience how Wastify AI flags misclassification, builds defensible evidence, and enables fair charging, all through a single RFID-enabled bag scan.

Misclassification Detection at Source

Wastify AI's most impactful capability is its ability to detect incorrect waste streams the moment a bag is validated at the kiosk.

If a general waste bag is incorrectly tagged as recycling, the system:

• Identifies the incorrect stream
• Flags the event in real time
• Links the issue to the responsible tenant or area
• Provides clear evidence for corrective action
• Reduces contamination before it spreads
• Supports waste education for cleaners and occupiers

This alone improves recycling performance across the entire building.

Most systems that track waste later, at bulk points or collection points, cannot offer this clarity.

From Guesswork to Defensible Evidence

Wastify AI replaces assumptions with verified facts.

Every bag is linked to:

• A specific tenant
• A specific location
• A specific waste stream
• A timestamp
• A verified weight

This creates a transparent, auditable record that stands up to internal reviews, external audits and ESG reporting requirements.

You’re no longer assuming, you’re knowing, and every decision becomes data-backed.

Fair and Transparent Tenant Recharging

Traditional recharging systems are unfair: tenants who segregate correctly subsidise those who contaminate streams.

Wastify AI enables:

• Evidence-based charging
• Real usage data
• Segregation-based pricing
• Accurate cost recovery
• Tenant-level dashboards

Tenants who behave responsibly finally pay less, and those who create contamination or excess residual waste pay their fair share.

This encourages measurable behaviour change across occupiers.

Portfolio-Level Insights for Asset Managers

Asset managers responsible for multiple buildings can finally see:

• Waste stream performance
• Contamination hotspots
• Tenant-specific behaviour
• Cross-building comparisons
• ESG readiness for DWT 2026
• Cost recovery analytics
• Efficiency trends over time

Wastify AI becomes a portfolio-wide intelligence engine, not just a waste logging tool.

Clarity and Accountability for Occupiers

Occupiers often lack visibility into their waste performance. Wastify AI gives them:

• Clear dashboards
• Evidence of correct segregation
• Transparency in recharging
• Insights into recycling accuracy
• A direct incentive to improve

This creates a culture of accountability, ownership and sustainability within the building.

The Infrastructure for a Smart, Transparent Building

Wastify AI is not a standalone tool, it becomes part of the core operational infrastructure of modern buildings.

Just like:

• Access control
• Smart meters
• Air-quality sensors
• Energy monitoring

Wastify AI creates measurable, auditable, transparent waste intelligence built directly into daily workflows.

With Wastify AI, waste performance becomes:

• Measurable
• Traceable
• Auditable
• Fairly allocated
• ESG-aligned
• DWT-ready

This is how modern buildings will operate.

Avoid last-minute compliance pressure. Adopt Wastify AI RFID-enabled bags and kiosk system to build a fully validated chain of custody, starting now.

Frequently Asked Questions!

Does Wastify AI use RFID bins?

No. Wastify AI does not use RFID bins. We use RFID-enabled bags and an optional RFID-enabled kiosk for validation.

How does Wastify AI validate waste if there are no smart bins?

Bags are validated at the kiosk. The kiosk verifies the waste stream, weight, tenant and timestamp automatically.

Is Wastify AI compliant with Digital Waste Tracking (DWT) 2026?

Yes. Wastify AI produces a clean, structured, defensible digital chain of custody, exactly what DWT requires.

Can Wastify AI detect misclassified waste?

Yes. The kiosk flags incorrect stream assignments immediately.

How does Wastify AI support tenant recharging?

Every disposal event is linked to a tenant, allowing cost allocation based on real behaviour, not estimates.

Is the kiosk mandatory?

No, Wastify AI works with RFID bags alone, but the kiosk enhances accuracy, validation and real-time insights.

How fast is onboarding?

Most buildings become operational within days with minimal disruption.

Can occupiers see their own data?

Yes. Occupiers can track their performance through transparent dashboards.
