PAPER
Optimize capture of recyclable fiber
The Sustainble Waste Systems Cortex ™ high-speed, intelligent robotics system removes contamination on fiber lines to recover higher-grade OCC (corrugated cardboard), mixed paper, SOP (sorted office paper), newsprint, and more. Generate cleaner bales for higher end-market pricing with continuous improvements in sorting efficacy and reliability driven by the industry’s most expansive AI platform.
Shape the sorting process with AI
Our AI is unique in its ability to learn new packaging to the specificity of a manufacturer or brand. Working with Sonoco, we created a new material category within our neural network specific to rigid paperboard cans, helping increase recycling rates for this material type across manufacturers. Producers are influencing what’s recoverable in recycling facilities and taking advantage of the ability to capture more of their specific packaging as they work toward ambitious sustainability goals.
