Waste, measured at the bin.
WASTEK is our AI-driven waste platform. QR-coded data capture at the point of disposal, intelligent dashboards by location and waste type, automated audits, and ESG-aligned reporting, so diversion is a number you can defend, not a bin you hope gets sorted right.
A measured stream, not a guess.
Most organizations cannot say what is in their waste, how much is truly diverted, or whether segregation survives once the bins leave the floor. WASTEK changes that: it captures data at the point of disposal through QR-coded bins, so every stream is weighed, photographed, and logged at source.
The result is waste you can actually manage. By location, by type, by period, with the diversion rate measured rather than assumed, and the reporting ready for ESG and compliance.
Six capabilities. From bin to report.
Everything WASTEK does serves one purpose: a diversion rate that is measured, traceable, and reportable, captured at the bin and rolled up to ESG and compliance standard.
-
01
QR-coded data capture
Staff scan a QR code at the bin, enter the weight, and upload a verification photo. Every disposal is logged at the point it happens, so the data is captured at source rather than estimated later.
-
02
Dashboards by location & type
Intelligent dashboards break waste down by location, waste type, and time period, so performance is visible site by site and stream by stream.
-
03
Waste composition tracking
Food, recyclables, general, and hazardous streams tracked separately, so you can see what is actually in the waste and where it goes.
-
04
Diversion & trend analysis
A diversion rate measured from real weights, with trends and gaps surfaced so improvement effort goes where it moves the number.
-
05
Automated audits & compliance
Digital records of waste handling and disposal, simplified compliance reporting, and transparent documentation for regulators and stakeholders.
-
06
Carbon impact & ESG reporting
Quantifies the CO2e impact of diverted waste and produces ESG-aligned reports, so waste data feeds directly into your sustainability disclosures.
Four stages. Bin to report.
WASTEK runs a continuous loop: capture each disposal at the bin, classify it by stream and location, analyse diversion and gaps, then report it to ESG and compliance standard.
-
Capture at the bin
Staff scan the QR code, enter the weight, and upload a verification photo, logging every disposal at the point it happens.
-
Track & classify
Each entry is classified by waste stream, location, and period, and rolled up into intelligent dashboards in real time.
-
Analyse diversion & gaps
The platform calculates the measured diversion rate, surfaces trends, and flags the gaps and improvement opportunities that matter.
-
Report & comply
Automated audits, ESG-aligned reports, and transparent documentation for regulators and stakeholders, ready to share.
The engine behind our waste and circularity work.
WASTEK is the measurement layer of our Waste & Circularity engagements. The platform captures and reports the diversion data; our consultants design the audit, the segregation system, and the circularity strategy around it. Adopt it standalone or as part of a full program.

What measured diversion looks like.
Representative results across WASTEK deployments
From hospitality to stadium-scale events, WASTEK turns waste operations into measured outcomes. At Coldplay's Abu Dhabi shows it tracked diversion live across multiple zones; at staff accommodation it has diverted hundreds of tonnes of food waste from landfill.
Every stream, every bin.
WASTEK tracks the waste streams that matter, captured at source and rolled up by location, so the diversion rate reflects what is actually thrown away rather than what is assumed.
Data is captured through QR-coded bins with staff verification photos, secured and audit-ready for ESG and compliance reporting.

Common questions from facilities and sustainability teams, event organizers, and operators evaluating the platform. If yours is not here, get in touch below.
What is WASTEK?
WASTEK is Farnek's AI-driven waste management platform. It captures waste data at the point of disposal through QR-coded bins, builds intelligent dashboards by location, waste type, and period, and produces automated audits and ESG-aligned reporting, turning waste from a guess into a measured, reportable stream.
How does WASTEK capture waste data?
WASTEK captures data at source using QR-coded bins. Staff scan the code, enter the weight, and upload a verification photo, so every disposal is logged at the point it happens rather than estimated later. This is what makes the resulting diversion rate defensible.
What is a waste diversion rate, and how does WASTEK measure it?
Diversion rate is the share of total waste, by weight, kept out of landfill through recycling, composting, reuse, or recovery. WASTEK measures it from the weights captured at the bin rather than from estimates, and tracks it by location, stream, and period so the number is both current and traceable.
Can WASTEK help with ESG and compliance reporting?
Yes. WASTEK produces automated audits and ESG-aligned reports, and maintains transparent documentation for regulators and stakeholders. It also quantifies the carbon impact of diverted waste, so waste data feeds directly into ESG and carbon reporting.
Where is WASTEK deployed?
WASTEK is deployed at scale across hospitality, corporate, and event environments, from hotels and staff accommodation to stadium-scale concerts. It can be adopted standalone or as part of a Waste & Circularity engagement with Farnek.
