Tomra Recycling has published an e-book exploring the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) in the circular economy.
The Norwegian company, which has a base in Leicester, said the tome could be a “valuable resource” for the waste-management industry.
Titled AI in Recycling: Unlocking New Possibilities, the book is free to download and has a particular focus on deep learning (DL), a subset of machine learning.
Tomra said its book aimed to “demystify” this subject, showcasing practical applications in the industry.
It added that readers would “gain insights into the tangible benefits of DL-based solutions, including enhanced flexibility, the creation of new high-value material streams, superior sorting accuracy, advanced plant automation and optimised processes”.
The guide also examines the role of AI in meeting the demands of evolving regulations.
Fabrizio Radice, head of sales and marketing at Tomra Recycling, said: “We believe our new e-book will serve as a valuable resource for the global recycling community, providing a clear understanding of how DL is not a futuristic concept but rather a tangible solution that is already delivering significant benefits and paving the way for a truly circular economy.
“By demystifying the technology and showcasing real-world applications, our aim is to encourage recyclers and processors to embrace the transformative potential of AI and explore how it can help them achieve their operational goals, meet rising demand for recycled content and take advantage of new, expanded market opportunities.”
