Bag Usage Analytics

Reducing plastic waste is a growing priority for retailers, regulators and consumers. But measuring real progress can be difficult.

Traditional audits are manual, time-consuming and limited in scale. Surveys often miss what actually happens at checkout.

Tiliter Vision Agents provide a more accurate way to measure bag usage using existing checkout camera infrastructure.

By analysing transaction imagery, Tiliter can classify the type of bag used for fresh produce and other purchases in real time.

What Tiliter Can Detect

• Single-use plastic bags
• Reusable mesh or cloth bags
• Paper bags
• No bag used
• Usage patterns across time periods or store formats

What Retailers Can Measure

Plastic Reduction Progress

Benchmark bag usage across stores, regions or banners.

Behaviour Change Over Time

Track adoption of reusable alternatives after campaigns or policy changes.

Promotion Impact

Measure how pricing or incentives influence customer behaviour.

Sustainability Reporting

Generate reliable data for internal KPIs or regulatory reporting.

Operational Insights

Understand where bag behaviour is improving — or not changing.

Why It Matters

No Manual Audits

Analyse hundreds or thousands of transactions daily without labour-intensive checks.

Real Behaviour Data

Measure actual checkout behaviour rather than survey assumptions.

Use Existing Infrastructure

Leverage current camera systems without new hardware.

Stronger Decision Making

Use data to guide packaging policy, levies or education campaigns.

Example Impact

A retailer processing thousands of produce transactions per day can build high-resolution bag usage trends by store, region, product category or campaign period.
