Americans produce about five pounds of waste per person per day. Over 90% of this waste is recoverable in some way.

The massive amount of waste needs to be sorted, and robots powered by artificial intelligence can be trained to sort trash accurately.

The AI's core technology is a vision system that is able to recognize specific pieces of garbage, no matter how mangled or dirty it might be.
