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 recycling industry operates within volatile markets, commodity prices fluctuate, regulations evolve, and feedstock quality changes. Designing plants for resilience, not just efficiency, is the way forward. A resilient plant is one that adapts to multiple waste streams, manages contamination, and adjusts production levels without significant downtime. This means flexible plant layouts, modular machinery, and advanced automation systems. For example, a plant designed to rec

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