The world is facing a major challenge in managing waste and promoting sustainable materials recovery. With the increasing population and consumption patterns, the amount of waste generated is growing at an alarming rate. The traditional linear economy, where resources are extracted, used, and disposed of, is no longer sustainable. It is time to shift towards a circular economy, where waste is minimized, and resources are kept in use for as long as possible. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play a crucial role in promoting sustainable materials recovery and achieving a circular economy.
AI is a powerful tool that can help in waste management by analyzing data, identifying patterns, and making predictions.
