Case Study: Method Recycling diverts waste and scales IoT bin monitoring with Golioth

How Method Recycling is On Track to Divert 1 Billion Kilograms of Waste

Method Recycling, a company that manufactures smart recycling bins, faced significant challenges in developing their IoT product, Method InSight. Amid supply chain shortages, they needed a flexible way to transform traditional bins into connected devices and manage both new and legacy hardware. Their goal was to automate waste data collection to help businesses reduce landfill waste.

The vendor Golioth provided a single platform solution that streamlined device connectivity and fleet management. By using Golioth's platform, Method Recycling saved significant engineering time, removing the need for five hand-built backend services and data stores. This efficiency gain allowed them to accelerate product development and focus on their mission to divert billions of kilograms of waste from landfills.
