Abstract - The proposed automated waste sorting and recycling system in this research incorporates state-of-the-art sensing technologies and machine learning techniques to make the waste management process efficient and optimized. With the use of computer vision and sensors, the system accurately detects and sorts various forms of waste materials. Following that, the system activates automated sorting processes that divert recyclable products into corresponding recycling streams. By streamlining the sorting process, the system effectively separates recyclable and non-recyclable materials, maximizing the recovery of resources and minimizing recycling stream contamination. By minimizing manual sorting dependency, this automated system not only improves the speed and accuracy of recycling but also enables a safer and cleaner working condition for waste management. As we aim for a more sustainable world, this state-of-the-art recycling system is at the leading edge of reducing environmental footprint and increasing the possibility of material reuse in an ever-changing world. This new technology seeks to maximize resource recovery, reduce environmental footprint, and lead towards a more sustainable waste management system.
Key Words: Design, Automation, Waste management, Sorting, Recycling, Optimization, scalability, sustainability.
