What is Smarter Sorting?

What/Who is Smarter Sorting?

 

At Smarter Sorting, we partner with some of the biggest retailers in the world, providing regulatory and compliance support to help them operate safely and compliantly. We know that navigating regulations and compliance can be complex, so we make the assessment and classification of your consumer products fast and easy.

With just a few pieces of information (not your proprietary information), we are able to get your products evaluated and ready to sell on retailer shelves in just hours.  You get to keep your secret sauce secret, and our retailers get the insights they need to run safely and compliantly.

This effort is valuable for retailers like Albertsons, Costco and Wegmans.  It’s valuable for suppliers like you.  And it’s good for the planet we all share.  Because when we know more, we do better. 

Accurate product data means that our partners can achieve the best outcomes when products are damaged, returned, or can no longer be sold for other reasons.  Leveraging your verified product data, our team of self-identified chemistry and math nerds go to work.  We use computational chemistry, proprietary algorithms and machine learning to provide a clear and accurate picture of how each and every product should be shipped, handled, stored, and disposed every time.

It's worth noting that most consumer products are regulated in some way by some regulatory body. Even if your products are not classified as "hazardous," your retailers may still require you to register. At Smarter Sorting, our classification abilities extend far beyond "HazMat." We provide insights and regulatory guidance for everyday products that may still be subject to specific state or federal regulations.

In general, we assess any products that have regulatory concern for our retail partners.  The details and specific requirements vary depending on the retailer.  If you’re not sure if your products require registration with Smarter Sorting, you can review their specific requirements below.  If you still have questions, you should reach out to your retailer contact(s) to confirm.
