Using Artificial Intelligence To Reduce Plastic Waste.

Plastic production is set to double by 2040, with tonnes of plastic waste already being lost to our environment each year. So, what can we do about this huge problem? Artificial intelligence (AI) is one effective solution, as being explored by researchers from Australia’s National Science Agency, CSIRO.
Researchers are using AI and machine learning tools to process thousands of images of trash floating through waterways at speeds and scale not humanly possible.
This helps quickly build a profile of the types and locations of different plastics entering our waterways so we can better target management and intervention solutions.
This research aligns with our Ending Plastic Waste Mission, which aims to change the way we make, use, recycle and dispose of plastic.
