Metal, Glass, Rocks and Socks: REDWAVE Sorts the Unsortable
What do soda cans, shattered bottles, demolished buildings and worn-out textiles have in common? They all end up in the recycling stream—and many plants struggle to deal with them. In this session, REDWAVE will unpack how smart technology and clever plant design tackle the “unsortable.” From fine metals and glass to mining debris and construction and demolition rubble (yes, even socks), discover how to turn chaos into clean streams and hidden waste into real profit. The future of recycling is here—it’s REDWAVE.

Lessons from AI-Based Mass Balancing in a MRF
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how material recovery facilities (MRFs) understand and optimize their operations. With the ability to characterize every object and track its course and destination, AI delivers practical insights into plant performance and area of improvement.
In this webinar, EverestLabs shares insights from a mass balancing analysis that reveal how a MRF can uncover hidden trends, highlight inefficiencies and equip operators with actionable information to improve recovery, reduce loss and maximize facility performance.
Join us to see how AI-based mass balancing can give you a clearer picture of your plant’s material flow—and how turning that data into action can unlock measurable gains across your facility.

How Artificial Intelligence is Impacting Waste Management
From optimizing operational efficiency and reducing fleet costs to boosting productivity and enhancing planning, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming indispensable for public and private haulers. It's already hard at work in fleet data platforms, improving frontline drivers’ productivity and helping guide strategic decision-making from the back office.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- How AI can reduce and analyze the impact of waste contamination.
- How to reduce environmental, safety and financial problems caused by overflowing containers.
- How to use AI to improve recycling performance and manage overflow incidents.
- How QR codes can help identify container overfill and synchronize customer records.
- Real-world examples of how you can augment disposal costs for excess material collected.
