LONDON, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Use of artificial intelligence is a key trend gaining popularity in the plastic waste management market, as per the plastic waste management market trend analysis. AI enables more efficient management of recycling and waste sorting plants. A smart recycling bin monitors and sorts waste at the time of disposal. It uses AI (artificial intelligence), computer vision, robotics, and machine learning to efficiently and accurately sort waste. For example, in January 2021, Unilever, a UK based consumer goods company and the Alibaba Group, a China based E-commerce company, have created an Al-enabled recycling system that automatically identifies and sorts plastic packaging. Its aim is to speed high-grade plastic back into the circular economy and move China's companies and consumers towards a waste-free world.
