CleanRobotics designs innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Their flagship product TrashBot is a smart recycling bin that sorts waste at the point of disposal with 95% accuracy. They help zero-waste facilities eliminate human error through AI and clean data, one item at a time.
There is a gap in today’s recycling, with ineffective signage, inefficient waste audits, and insufficient recycling education. CleanRobotics's TrashBot, a smart recycling bin that sorts waste at the point of disposal, addresses this gap. Through recycling AI, robotics, computer vision, and machine learning, their recycling technology diverts items into corresponding landfill, recycling, or organic bins inside the TrashBot. Sorting instantly at the point of disposal allows for more material recovery, less contamination, and more waste diversion from landfills. Additionally, CleanRobotics’s data platform lets customers make educated decisions and sustainable changes within their organizations for additional impact.
