Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is one of India’s fastest-growing waste streams, generating millions of tonnes annually. Traditionally, much of it has ended up in landfills or illegal dumps, contributing to pollution and resource wastage. Globally, countries like the Netherlands and Japan recycle more than 90% of their C&D waste, turning it into high-value aggregates, tiles, and road materials. India, however, is still in the early stages of scaling such innovation. R

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
