"The waste crisis is devastating our planet. A lot of the stuff we throw gets
dumped in landfills. These massive waste disposal sites are often created by
destroying forests or inhabitable lands. For example, the United States has
lost land roughly the size of the state of Maryland to landfills.

Unfortunately, materials that could be recycled or composted continually end up
in landfills. With waste generation projected to rise by 73% by 2050, the
problem could get worse. We need more efficient and innovative solutions to
manage waste.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool to help sort waste
and divert recyclable materials away from landfills. Let’s look at some
innovative solutions that improve recycling, prolong the life of existing
landfills, and help us achieve our sustainability goals."
