ECOVISION:
An Autonomous Recycling Solution
Preserving our home, one bucket at a time.
THE PROBLEM WE FACE
According to the EPA, roughly around 25% of all recyclable material cannot be recycled due to recycling contamination. One of the leading causes of this issue is a result of mixing non-recyclable and recyclable materials.
RECYCLING ANALYTICS
In 2017, the EPA recorded that only 35% of US solid waste were recycled, and only 8% of plastics were actually recycled.
AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC SOLUTION
By having a device that can help sort out recyclable and non-recyclable materials, we can reduce the amount of recycling contamination.
RECYCLING BENEFITS
Recycling helps reduce landfill, air and water pollution, and conserve natural resources.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our goal is to create a solution to help reduce recycling contamination and improve the amount of materials that can actually be recycled. With ECOVISION and its Google Cloud Vision API, we will provide a more reliable system to organize waste and provide a more sustainable future.
