Handling the Unknown

When AI can't identify it

Some waste is genuinely unidentifiable—plate scrapings, mixed leftovers. That's fine. We categorize these as "Mixed Waste" so nothing gets lost.

  • Staff can manually categorize if needed
  • Weight and cost still tracked accurately
  • Flagging helps train the model over time
