We're so grateful for our incredible partners who helped bring this innovation to life! We love showcasing the technology at The Exchange Material Recovery Facility, especially our new robot, a true game-changer for our sustainability efforts. Over the past year, this advanced EverestLabs.AI technology has recovered more than a million aluminum beverage cans, helping us increase recycling rates and reduce waste. Together, we're driving a more circular future! #SustainableSolutions #Recycling #SustainableTechnology
Even the most advanced material recovery facilities (MRFs), like LRS' new The Exchange in Chicago, lose some valuable post-consumer recyclable material to landfill. When processing more than 350,000 pounds of recycled aluminum per month, or 12 million used beverage cans (UBCs), some are bound to slip through. Today's most valuable PCR commodity is aluminum, and losing that material out of the back-end of the system is a drain on both potential revenue and circular/sustainable aspirations. So, with funding support from?Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) members?Ardagh Metal Packaging?and?Crown Holdings, Inc., LRS installed EverestLabs.AI’s RecycleOS platform, complete with material sorting robot. The robot sits on the residual line, also called the “last chance” line, to catch mis-sorted materials and divert them from landfill to recycling streams. This robot prioritizes aluminum UBCs, and also picks HDPE. This helps increase revenue and ensure maximum efficiency, recovery, and recycling of used beverage cans (UBCs). "The time span from our vision system first seeing an object [a UBC in the residual stream], to determining what it is and what course of action to take, is about 10 to 15 milliseconds,” says Apurba Pradhan at EverestLabs.AI. “In comparison, the best self-driving cars will make that determination at 100-200 milliseconds. We've developed a 10 order of magnitude faster AI to do this kind of work. And the variability in objects is tremendous. A can that ends up in this facility might be completely crushed, or it's in its full natural shape, or anything in between. We have to determine that it's a can, among hundreds of [packaging waste objects] at a time [on the conveyor] of about 10 milliseconds. This is super difficult problem to solve, but once you've done that, then you can program robotics to recover the valuable materials.” The Everest equipment specifically, which has been in the facility for nearly one year, has individually accounted for recovering more than a million individual aluminum beverage cans at the facility, according to Joy Rifkin, sustainability manager at LRS. The value of that recovered material alone often pays for this type of equipment, stakeholders say. The collaboration at LRS follows one?between CMI, EverestLabs, and Caglia Environmental, which has captured?more than 1,500?additional UBCs per day since installation at a Caglia MRF. “With both robot lease agreements that include a revenue share, CMI is able to leverage that UBCs are consistently one of the most valuable recyclable commodities,” says CMI's Scott Breen. “CMI is receiving a portion of all revenue generated from the cans collected by the robot and then using those funds for even more can-capture equipment in MRFs.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gqZ37Vtg
