The Need for Automated Recycling Facilities
The podcast episode explores the challenges faced by the recycling industry in effectively sorting and recycling waste materials. Currently, only about a third of waste in the US is recycled due to limitations in the sorting process. Most recycling facilities rely on manual labor, which is inconsistent and less efficient. Matania Horowitz, the founder of AMP Robotics, started the company to tackle this problem using artificial intelligence (AI) and robots. By automating the sorting process, recycling facilities can significantly increase their ability to recycle materials and improve the overall efficiency of recycling operations.
