Smart Bin

Smart Bin Tech has developed innovative technologies, including IoT, sensing and robotics, to detect, classify, and sort recyclables into plastic, metal, and glass recycle bins. Moreover, plastic bottles are classified using computer vision and AI technologies and sorted into various types of plastics. A data system will enable users to record their recycling activities and manage the smart bins in real time. The separation and sorting of plastic waste serve as major steps in plastic recycling. Smart Bin aims to change the ways that recycled materials are collected and processed to improve recycling rates and to reduce landfill.
