New technology helps to improve sorting and increase aluminum recovery rates

Chicago’s newest recycling plant, part of LRS Waste Management, uses advanced technology, including AI-enabled robots and optical sorters, to enhance aluminum recycling. This facility aims to boost aluminum recovery rates and improve the efficiency of material recovery facilities (MRFs). The facility is a key part of efforts to enhance recycling rates and boost the circular economy. It’s expected to increase aluminum recovery rates and help meet sustainability goals. Chicago plans to divert 90% of household waste by 2040. Learn more about the use of the new sorting technology.
