The recycling industry is shifting from being mechanically efficient to becoming digitally intelligent. Traditionally, plant performance depended on robust machines, manual judgement and periodic inspections. Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing that equation by adding a powerful layer of real-time analysis, prediction and optimisation. AI-powered vision systems can now identify materials on conveyor belts with remarkable accuracy. Using cameras and machine-learnin

The future of recycling lies not just in heavy machinery but in smart systems that can learn, adapt, and optimize operations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are reshaping recycling plant performance globally, and India is now catching up. AI-driven optical sorters can identify plastics, metals, and composites with higher accuracy than human labor, reducing contamination rates and improving yield. IoT sensors, meanwhile, can track machine perform
