Come work at Smarter Sorting!

About Us

Smarter Sorting helps companies maximize the salvation of unwanted items.

We utilize machine learning and artificial intelligence to create the best decision path for unsalable products. At least 1 in 10 products sold by retailers are returned, unsold or damaged. With a lack of standardized data, retailers are unable to properly classify these products and end up spending millions. These products are disposed of instead of being donated and used for their intended purpose.

Our Point of Reversal Decision Engine helps to find end-markets for these unsaleable items, stops tons of hazardous waste from being incinerated into our atmosphere, and saves our partners lots of money by increasing reuse and automating compliance.

The Smarter Sorting team is made up of top-notch talent who are dedicated to our mission of reducing unnecessary waste. We're determined to build world-class tech that transforms the chemical waste management industry, speeding our advancement towards a zero-waste future. Join our team!
