Since China implemented stricter purity standards on the recycled goods they’re willing to buy, recycling facilities are turning to A.I. and robotics to reduce contamination and maximize profits in a transforming industry.

Turn the recycled materials into environmentally friendly infrastructure materials for building children’s playgrounds. Or for continuing to build the hidden content in the sea between Alaska and Russia. That areas purpose is to become a landing pad for practice entry onto uneven landscapes in outer space.
Use the materials to build artificial Lilly pads that float and can be sold as children and adults experimental tools.
Rule did not change, people send trash is unacceptable.
What dumb F puts diapers in recycling?
Oh, I guess the same ones that throw it outside of their car, in parking lots.…🤨
this is clearly ChinaNet(CNET)
stop recycling, thats the best thing you can do
Smiths and Walmart take the bags and glass
You look high dude.
I was planning to make plastic recycling business but I changed my mind coz no matter how you recycle and make products out of it It will be useless, plastic companies will continue to produce plastics products and they will just mass produce whatever you design from recycled plastics.
about time cool
I can understand plastic bags. Though I’ve known about the film problem for years, I can easily understand some getting the memo on that one. I can even understand batteries, when the city says “put all your recyclables in here,” and the battery packaging says “Recycle Me!”
But who in the name of all that’s holy puts *diapers* in the recycle bin?
Fun fact about ocean polution: the US contributes maybe 1% or something ridiculously low like that. Want to blame someone? Look at countries like China.
It’s not even against the law to throw recycling in the garbage. This wont change until mommy and daddy make the rules
Refuse plastic packaging. Go out of your way to find the product not in plastic. The idea of convenience of a disposal item needs to go away and people need to learn to adapt.
I drive a recycling truck. There’s two types of people that dont do it right.
Ignorant and arrogant. The ignorant really have no clue what’s recyclable. The arrogant dont care because the world revolves around them.
Recycling is a gigantic scam, and always has been.
Outlaw consumer plastics. Each country recycle their own trash.
Recycling is one of the greatest rip-offs pulled off by the left. You want me to research plastic film recycling? Yeah, I will get right on it.
I hope the Robots will let us live in the future like some sort of pet.
Disposable diapers should be banned use cloth ones like the old days don’t be idle
I knew this for YEARS.
Also I got a 4ocean SCAM ad before this lol
Why try to reinvent the wheel…burn it…if you don’t…something else is going to get burnt either way…
The trick here is to stop making the stuff in the first place.…ban single-use plastics first…ban complex plastics that can’t be recycled in the first place…
Up!! Took your job!!
What idiot puts diapers and bowling balls in recycling bins?
This is a great video (LHRD=Lactote Home Recycling Depot)
1. The answer, in large part, for capturing the Ocean small plastic bits is the no cost LHRD. There will need to be drop off points like Waste Transfer Stations using bins made from waste plastic for the mixed ingots. Yes the LHRD will take all the plastic films the guy is talking about. And the flexibles will be compacted in the bottle making them less of a fire hazard amongst other things.
2. AI will handle the larger rigids like bottles and such. Plus sort aluminium cans, glass bottles and paper.
3. Disposable diapers should be discouraged and a return to washable nappies encouraged
4. We need more people with end market product option knowledge to get the ‘end-use’ markets developed for the industrial post-consumer plastic waste. I have designed numerous very large items for Integrated Recycling which are currently in use across Australasia.
5. We should ban the use of timber in transport pallets – plus all outdoor bollards and similar that don’t require structural certification – change to waste plastic options.
6. We need more plastic Extrusion/Moulding operations +61499008862
Pls check the recycling systems of japan…they segregate everything like a needle to the big carton boxes.
So the segregation would be the best way to recycling
Recylcleable, not recycled…
The Norwegian firm Tomta has machines for sorting that uses NIR to identify fastmoving trash and air to push it out.
The biggest problem we have it that the city is to easy on polluters, fines are not the way PUTTING offenders on a work program 6 hours of community clean up. We must make people responsible for not respecting their city. Reuse plastic bottles for storing things like spices, pasta, nuts, buttons, screws, bolts, nails, peanuts butter jars, mayonnaise jars.
I hope his robotics are better than his webcam.
When that Dr is talk remove the music to make him easier to understand.
We need to go back to glass bottles for beverages, and recycle those, like we did until the late 70’s.
I drink alot of bottled spring water and have 5 black bin liners full of them. Are local recycaling locations require that there are no labels of lids. So sorting the bottles takes a long time and I know most people definitely do not recycle like I do.
😂
when I get a salad or sandwich from Subway I bring back (reuse) the same plastic salad container or sandwich bag.
Problem with recycling=humans
Recycling involving another Environmentalproblem.
Digestible with bacterias.
Imagine if we just stopped buying bottled water !!! We never used these 30 years ago.
WE need to start building robots that can make a house out of recycled plastic. Nothing fancy just a basic 3 BR 1 bath house with a rain water harvester in the middle and a roof that drains that way. Since plastic is toxic when it burns it will need a built in sprinkler system and a fire detection thingy too.
Real life wall‑e
ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN NOT BE BOTHERED TO RECYCLE … THINK OF HOW GREAT JAPAN IS ABOUT IT … THE PEOPLE RECYCLE PROPERLY AND IT’S NOT THAT HARD — !
Recycling isn’t the answer — we need to go zero waste from the start! @t makes that easy!
LoL. What a joke…
Would universally shaping the materials we use help with cutting down the sorting costs? All aluminum = round, all plastic = rectangle. Maybe not enough bc it gets crushed and what not, but would it help at all?
Germany has a high recycling rate.
no longer recycle, the blue bin is dead to me
In the 50’s my father started me on a lifelong discipline of recycling. Over my 60 years, I’ve grown distrustful of the system. I think the best we can do at this point until some other method comes alone is the following. To mitigate pieces of plastic I no longer fully cut off the tops of packages. Leaving a part of the plastic to hold that opening to the contents intact. This reduces one fewer piece of plastic. Next, I’m using the bigger packages to stuff smaller flexible/compressible packaging into to condense the bulk of my waste. This goes to landfills not recycling for the simple reason of the waste of energy used in our current system.
An ounce of reducing or reusing is worth a pound of recycling. Start with freezer bags.
