Procurement

Coffee purchasing insight

A facilities team used Rego to connect waste observations with breakroom purchasing patterns and identified over $10,000 in potential savings from coffee-related procurement. What looked like ordinary waste became a contract and purchasing conversation.

City of Kalamazoo

Grant-backed expansion of recycling and organics access

Across multifamily communities, Western Michigan University, and organics collection routes, Rego created the baseline data Kalamazoo needed to secure grant funding, design expanded public programs, and track rollout progress.

Governors Island

Smarter bin and signage deployment

Rego helped Governors Island understand where materials were generated, what infrastructure was needed, and where investments could be avoided—supporting a more efficient bin rollout while tracking performance in real time.

Procurement

Utensil procurement opportunity

At one office, Rego helped uncover more than $24,000 in utensil purchasing opportunities by showing what disposable products were actually being used, wasted, and discarded. The insight gave the operations team a practical path to reduce spend and eliminate unnecessary waste.

City of Cincinnati

One mobile data system for a citywide recycling strategy

Rego helped Cincinnati turn fragmented field observations into the material, contamination, and fill-rate intelligence needed to plan, budget, and track expanded no-cost recycling access.

Global multi-site organization

One deployment across radically different sites

Rego standardized field data collection across offices, automotive sites, farms, materials, teams, haulers, and local rules—creating portfolio-wide intelligence without relying on years of site-by-site manual audits.

Waste2Zero + Major National Park

120 bins • 9,000+ materials • Nearly 13 miles

Expert-led infrastructure planning after wildfire disruption

After a wildfire halted traditional audit efforts, Waste2Zero and the park’s custodial field staff used Rego to capture and analyze 9,000+ materials from 120 bins across nearly 13 miles of trails—giving Waste2Zero’s experts the data to pinpoint where new reusable collection infrastructure could have the greatest impact.

Rego 1:1 K–12 Program

AI • Science • Math • Sustainability

Real material data becomes a STEM classroom

Through Rego’s 1:1 program, students step into the role of waste consultants—using real-world observations to explore artificial intelligence, identify materials, calculate waste patterns, and apply science and math to opportunities inside their schools.
