Robotics and AI Innovation

Harnessing robotics and adopting new AI technologies in the recycling process is key to increasing efficiency and reducing costs across the resources and waste management industry.

Panda’s mixed dry recycling facility in Dublin repurposes and remanufactures recycling from around 400,000 homes across the region into key products. Faced with labour shortages and increasing costs, Panda have turned to Recycleye for a more sustainable, technology-based solution.

Recycleye uses an innovative AI powered vision system to categorise waste, which is then sorted by a robotic arm. Using this technology 100% of the waste is scanned for quality assurance, increasing the purity of the material being collected, enabling the collation of multiple data streams, and providing invaluable data for future planning and forecasting.

A wide-ranging digital series exploring the resources and waste sector’s role as a vital change agent for the transition to a low-carbon, resource efficient, circular economy. This is a pivotal moment for the sector; a time for waste management professionals to accelerate progress in order to protect our environment and resources for future generations.
