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

The recycling industry is entering a new era, one defined not just by machinery, but by intelligence. For decades, success was measured...
