How it works

Food preparation scraps being collected and weighed in a hotel service area

Know what happens
after collection.

ORU records collection weights and recovery information so properties can build a clearer picture of where their waste is going. As ORU expands its downstream partnerships, material-specific recovery pathways and chain-of-custody evidence will form an increasingly important part of the service.

The system
keeps learning.

The ORU system should not stay static. As collection data grows, ORU can identify patterns, improve route efficiency, strengthen recovery partnerships and help properties reduce avoidable waste.
