I like it, but I think it's misleading. It's less of a smart trash can and more of a grocery reordering system.
The other things I wonder about:
1) Timing for things: When I use my last roll of toilet paper, it's a little too late to reorder it.
2) Having to decide which items you're throwing out or recycling that need to be replaced. Some items are one-time purchases for a specific event or meal, while others are more "staples" of your pantry/fridge. You wouldn't want to reorder a thanksgiving Turkey every time you use one. So it takes some "thought" as to what you want reordered versus not.

Ad 1) I see what you mean, but toilet paper is a bad example, because individual rolls don't have bar codes. GeniCan would record when you throw away the plastic wrap the rolls come in. You could start throwing away the plastic wrap when you put on the second to last roll.
Ad 2) The video shows the screen with a list of thrown away things and a shopping basket icon next to them. It is on that screen where you decide which items to put on your shopping list.
