IMPROVING WASTE RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY
Keywords:
Waste recycling, AI sorting, chemical recycling, sustainability, circular economy.Abstract
Waste generation is surging globally, with over 2 billion tons produced annually, projected to reach 3.4 billion by 2050. Traditional recycling methods struggle with contamination, low efficiency, and high costs, leading to landfill overload and environmental harm. This article explores advancements in waste recycling technology, focusing on AI-driven sorting, chemical recycling, plasma gasification, and blockchain traceability. Key improvements include up to 95% sorting accuracy via robotics and enzymatic breakdown of plastics that recycles 90% of waste into virgin-quality materials. Case studies from Europe and Asia demonstrate scalability, while challenges like economic viability and policy gaps are addressed. Recommendations emphasize hybrid tech integration and global standards to boost recycling rates from 13% to over 50% worldwide. These innovations promise a circular economy, reducing emissions by 70% and conserving resources.
