As the world’s population continues to grow, so does the amount of waste produced. According to the World Bank, global waste generation is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. This poses a significant challenge for cities and municipalities, who are responsible for managing waste in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. Fortunately, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are making it possible to improve waste management practices and reduce the impact of waste on the environment.
One of the most promising applications of AI in waste management is smart recycling. Smart recycling involves using sensors and other technologies to sort and separate recyclable materials from non-recyclable waste.
