Waste traceability is one of the greatest demands in logistics and environmental processes. Knowing exactly where it came from, where it went, in what quantity, and when it was treated is essential for companies that transport, receive, or process waste. With this in mind, myWaste offers an innovative and effective solution: the use of QR Codes on containers, integrating the process from collection to final treatment.
How does it work?
The QR Code traceability flow in myWaste is simple, practical, and highly efficient. Here’s the step-by-step:
- Asset registration
It all starts with registering an asset in the system, which can represent a container (bin, drum, bag, box, etc.). This asset can be disposable or reusable. After registration, the system generates a unique sequential QR Code that can be printed and attached directly to the container. - Collection with QR Code scanning
When the driver arrives to collect the waste:
- They scan the QR Code using the myWaste app.
- The QR Code is automatically linked to the client, waste type, and date/time of collection.
- This collection is recorded and synced with the web platform, creating the daily collection visit log.
- Web portal with QR Code verification
With synced data, containers are available on the web portal for consultation and verification.
- The QR Code can be scanned again at the facility to confirm the waste’s origin.
- The system automatically displays: client, waste type, date, and collection time.
- Integration with weighing scale
Upon receiving the container at the facility, waste can be weighed directly within the system, ensuring even greater accuracy and control over collected volumes. - Automatic email notification to the client
Once the process is completed, the system allows automatic sending of a collection report to the client via email, including:
- All collected containers
- Quantities
- Type of treatment planned
- Collection date and time
- Photographic evidence of collection
Benefits for transporters and receivers:
✅ Full traceability of each container
✅ Security and transparency in the logistics process
✅ Reduction of errors and manual rework
✅ Easy verification by QR Code at the facility
✅ Integration with weighing scales
✅ Automatic reports and efficient communication with clients
A leap in efficiency for your operation
Using QR Codes in waste traceability makes the process more modern, transparent, and secure, while meeting environmental requirements and strengthening trust with clients.
If you transport or receive waste and are not yet using QR Codes on your containers, now is the time to evolve your operation with myWaste.
