    We gotta admit, as much as the government persuade us to recycle, sometimes they do a horrible job at managing the recycled materials. Many times I saw the trash truck pick up all my recyclables. What a shame. We did our part, they can’t do their part.

    Only about 10% of the plastics we sort out are recycled. Recycled plastic is not very good, who wants it? Plus they keep making more, what is the point?

    You would be amazed at how dysfunctional the recycling industry is. This change is long overdue.

    We need to focus on reducing waste. And reusing things.

    I am super psyched on this tech and have been following it's growth for a few years - but we still need to phase-out certain materials, including most plastics. For one, robots only help with the recycleables that make it to the facility (e.g. 10% of plastics). For another, many materials cannot be recycled at all, and many materials are not "recycled", but "downcycled", which means they can be used 2-3 times and then they go to the landfill. We need to create a truly circular and sustainable economy and packaging materials are probably the most important place to start.

    P.s. Also very interested in what Maine and other places are doing in terms of Extended Producer Responsibility, where manufacturers are responsible for the proper treatment of their product waste.

    We should make composit materials by using 3D printers to break down plastics and use them for building materials.

    Recycling is not the answer reusable and biodegradable is! The media has to start showing the public where all garbage goes. Garbage includes plastics and cardboard. Since they really haven't until now, I figure it ends up in poor countries. Which really doesn't do anyone any good. As in some sci fi novel all life will end up living underground.

    로봇 시스템 쓰레기 분류편! AI를 기반으로 한 쓰레기 분류 로봇 시스템을 적극적으로 지지합니다. 그동안 인간이 비위생적이며,근무 환경도 좋치않은 쓰레기 분류 작업들을 AMP로보틱스로 처리할 수 있는 혁신 시스템을 구축한것에 대하여 박수를 보내고 싶습니다. 인류의 상상 초월 쓰레기 문제를 더 근원적 초공학 문제로 해결하여 한계지구의 쓰레기 문제들이 해결되길 바랍니다. 리싸이클 뿐만아니라 섞는 기간을 단축 시키는 근원적 과학 기술들이 창조되어야 합니다. 본명 변상규 1973년생 도인임 AI 인공지능 활용으로 근원적인 문제해결력을 지닐 수 있는 초공학 시대로 비약적 혁신 가속화가 진행되어야 할 것입니다. 그동안 직업적으로 애쓰신 분들게 감사드립니다. 솔직히 내가 하기 싫어하는 쓰레기 분야의 직업인것이 사실입니다. 그러나 누군가는 해결해 주어야 나머지 인류들에 그 혜택적 편리를 누리는것입니다. 서로 하기 싫어하는 쓰레기 직업 분야는 인지상정 이지만,그 분야에서 애쓰시는 분들 덕택에 상대적으로 유익한 삶을 누릴수 있게 되어 고맙게 생각하고 있습니다. 쓰레기 처리 로봇 시스템이 더더욱 AI기반으로 확장되어야 합니다. 본명 변상규 1973년생 도인임

    Ask yourself "Why don't I solve world hunger?" Then you will get to the bottom of the problem.
