Glacier provides recycling facilities with robotics and AI-driven data solutions to address growing industry challenges including rising labor costs, labor shortages with up to 500% annual turnover, high contamination of recycling waste streams, and commodity price fluctuations.
The US produces 292 million tons of municipal solid waste annually, of which approximately 69 million tons are recycled by Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs).
Glacier offers MRFs an AI-enabled sorting robot, custom-designed to pick materials out of commodity sorting lines with best-in-class speed and accuracy, as well as a data platform that uses Glacier’s camera scanners and AI model to deliver valuable insights on waste mix and material recovery.
By replacing or supplementing human labor with an easy-to-install robot and data dashboard, Glacier helps recycling facilities reduce operating costs and increase revenue by capturing more of the recyclable materials in their waste streams.
