Sustainable plastics will make up more than 15 percent of production by 2030, says report

April 22, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Sustainable plastics will make up more than 15 percent of production by 2030, according to a new report by Lux Research. 

Future projections of a circular economy emphasize that a combination of recycled and bio-based resources will serve as a feedstock for plastic needs, says the market analyst.

However, it adds that in order for the “idealistic future” to be realized, there must be a major investment in new technologies, including advanced recycling tech and bio-based plastic capacity.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics market set to grow to $64 billion by 2030

September 24, 2020 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are a critical class of performance materials, but disruptions from Covid-19 have made the future of the industry uncertain.

In a new report, The Future of Carbon Fiber Composites, Lux Research outlines major challenges and opportunities carbon fibers and CFRPs face and how standardization and recycling are enabling the CFRP market to grow to a $64 billion industry by 2030.

The carbon fiber industry is facing three major challenges: weakness in underlying markets, fiber standardization, and recycling. [Read more…] about Carbon fiber reinforced plastics market set to grow to $64 billion by 2030

The Robotic Revolution in Recycling

April 13, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

AMP Robotics has received significantly more orders for recycling-sorting robots since the start of the pandemic.

Some see this as a sign of things to come: nonessential workers in struggling industries being replaced by robots.

While most people would not have called recycling a “struggling industry” a month ago, Covid-19 has forced recycling plants to close, save those who traded human workers for machines. [Read more…] about The Robotic Revolution in Recycling

BMW bids to shape the future of battery cell technology

November 15, 2019 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

The BMW Group is building on its leading position in the world of electric mobility and has pooled its many years of experience with battery cells and extensive knowledge in the field in a new Competence Centre.

The purpose of the facility in Munich is to advance battery cell technology and carefully dissect the production processes.

Oliver Zipse, chairman of the board of management of BMW, says: “The new Battery Cell Competence Centre puts us in an enviable position. [Read more…] about BMW bids to shape the future of battery cell technology

AMP Robotics launches new AI dual-robot system for the recycling industry

July 10, 2019 by Anna

AMP Robotics, a pioneer in artificial intelligence and robotics for the recycling industry, has launched its new AMP Cortex dual-robot system (DRS) focused on material recovery in municipal solid waste, electronic waste, and construction and demolition.

The AMP Cortex DRS expands on its existing product line of high-speed recycling robotics guided by the AMP Neuron AI platform and uses two high-performance robots that rapidly sort, pick, and place materials at a speed of 160 pieces per minute.

AMP Neuron uses computer vision and machine learning to recognise different colours, textures, shapes, sizes, and patterns to identify material characteristics.

AMP Robotics and Ryohshin partner on automation for construction recycling

July 9, 2019 by Anna

AMP Robotics, a pioneer in artificial intelligence and robotics for the recycling industry, and waste management technology company Ryohshin are to make and sell AI-driven industrial robotics for material recovery in the Japanese construction and demolition market.

The companies also announced the commercial launch of a high-performance construction and demolition robotic systems now available in Japan.

Ryohshin and AMP have co-developed a robotic system using the AMP Neuron AI platform to guide high-performance robots that recognise, sort, pick and process construction and demolition debris for recycling. The two robotic systems are called “AI-Benkei” and “AI-Musashi”.

5 Technologies That Would Change Waste Management Industry

May 9, 2019 by Mark Allinson

Today’s waste management system can’t deal with the tons of trash that are generated every single day.

Automating the procedure of trash disposal or sorting, by using artificial intelligence for smart waste management and recycling, is expected to be better garbage disposal method to recycle. 

Do you remember the story of the sci-fi movie, Wall-E, where robot waste compactors were stationed on earth to clean it? [Read more…] about 5 Technologies That Would Change Waste Management Industry

Apple’s recycling robots are hungry for more defunct devices, as tech giant announces a “major expansion” of its recycling programmes.

The company says it is quadrupling the number of locations US customers can send their iPhone to be disassembled by Daisy, its recycling robot.

Daisy will disassemble and recycle select used iPhones returned to Best Buy stores throughout the US and KPN retailers in the Netherlands.

Project uses artificial intelligence to identify, grab, and separate food and beverage cartons

The Carton Council of North America says that it has been conducting a pilot program that uses artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of carton recycling.

Its research concluded that the system was 50 per cent more productive.

Through a collaboration led by the Carton Council with two Denver-based companies, AMP Robotics and Alpine Waste & Recycling, a robotic system has learned to identify the wide variety of food and beverage cartons in order to grab and separate them from the recycling stream.

The AMP Cortex, nicknamed “Clarke” after the sci-fi author and futurist Arthur C. Clarke, has spider-like arms with specially designed grippers to pick up and separate cartons at a materials recovery facility.

Clarke was installed in late 2016 and, through fine-tuning and adjustments, has achieved a pickup rate of 60 cartons per minute. This is a considerable increase from the human average of 40 picks per minute.  [Read more…] about Carton recycling robot 50 per cent more productive, claim researchers
