Our Story

The Origin of MyMatR

MyMatR originated with an innovative concept: a smart waste container for residential use that would segregate waste and also facilitate its collection, rewarding users for their recyclables.

In 2021, the original residential idea evolved to address the inefficiency of recycling in public waste streams. Expensive and often ineffective, current public containers presented an opportunity for MyMatR to make an impact on a different scale.

Creating MyMatR

The name MyMatR was coined to reflect personal ownership ('my') over the materials ('matter') we aim to reclaim and recycle.

MyMatR focused on research and development to create a robust prototype After extensive testing and refinement, MyMatR developed its concept and is committed to public waste management. Our advanced device blends AI innovation with sustainability. MyMatR’s device can increase recycling, profitability, and landfill diversion in cities and institutions.
