Disclosed herein is a method for facilitating generation of a carbon offset based on processing of a recyclable item. Accordingly, the method may include receiving, using a communication device, transportation data associated with transportation of at least one recyclable item from at least one first device. Further, the method may include analyzing, using a processing device, the transportation data. Further, the method may include determining, using the processing device, a carbon value associated with the transportation of the at least one recyclable item based on the analyzing. Further, the method may include generating, using the processing device, a net CO.sub.2e offset associated with the at least one recyclable item based on the carbon value. Further, the method may include storing, using a storage device, the net CO.sub.2e offset associated with the at least one recyclable item in a distributed ledger.

A system is provided for use in managing waste services performed by a service vehicle. The system may include a sensor configured to capture during completion of a waste service activity an image of waste set out for retrieval by the service vehicle, a portal, and a processor in communication with the sensor and the portal. The processor may be configured to execute instructions stored in memory to receive from a consumer via the portal at least one of a picture and a description of a desired item, to recognize an object in the image captured by the sensor, to make a determination regarding matching of the object with the desired item, and to selectively cause a notification to be displayed on the portal based on the determination.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for switching a control scheme to control a set of system modules and/or modular devices of a surgical hub. A surgical hub may determine a first control scheme that is configured to control a set of system modules and/or modular devices. The surgical hub may receive an input from one of the set of modules or a device located in an OR. The surgical hub may make a determination that at least one of a safety status level or an overload status level of the surgical hub is higher than its threshold value. Based on at least the received input and the determination, the surgical hub may determine a second control scheme to be used to control the set of system modules. The surgical hub may send a control program indicating the second control scheme to one or more system modules and/or modular devices.

In one aspect, an example methodology implementing the disclosed techniques includes receiving a corpus of historical recycling settlement data regarding a plurality of recycled assets, the historical recycling settlement data including information pertaining to a recycling of each asset of the plurality of recycled assets, wherein the information pertaining to the recycling includes a recovery value of each recycled asset. The method also includes generating a training dataset from the corpus of historical recycling settlement data, the training dataset including a plurality of training samples, each training sample of the plurality of training samples corresponding to a recycled asset, and training a recovery value prediction module using the plurality of training samples. Once trained, the recovery value prediction module can predict a recovery value of a provided asset.

One example method includes for an electronic asset that includes hardware, creating an asset record that includes information about a physical configuration of the electronic asset and materials included in the electronic asset, entering the asset record in an electronic waste tracing datastore, at an end of a useful life of the electronic asset, or a component of the electronic asset, performing an inquiry to identify options for disposition of the electronic asset or a component of the electronic asset, receiving a user selection of one of the options, and based on the user selection, performing the selected option with respect to the electronic asset or the component of the electronic asset.
