RECLAIM has developed a fully operational portable robotic Material Recover Facility (prMRF), ready for optimization and real-world deployment. This portable, containerized robotic facility, integrates advanced robotics, computer-vision and hyperspectral imaging technologies to achieve small-scale waste processing for material recovery. Its operation is supported by a web-based interface allowing the production manager to monitor the performance […]

The future of decentralised material recovery is here! The latest video of the RECLAIM project unveils the innovative AI-driven, low-cost, portable, robotic material recovery facility (prMRF) for remote areas. Breaking new ground, AI-powered robotic waste management technology has been seamlessly embedded in a “portable, robotic MRF”, setting a benchmark in decentralised material recovery activities for

The RECLAIM project, funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe program, aims to offer innovative solutions in the waste management industry in regions lacking material recovery facilities. By integrating cutting-edge AI, data, and robotic technologies, the project develops the first portable, robotic Material Recovery Facility (prMRF). This innovative solution enables material recovery in remote and geographically

Mobilizing citizen science can play a pivotal role, generating data, raising awareness, engaging communities and driving policy action.  Urgent actions by multiple stakeholders are needed across the plastic value chain to tackle plastic pollution, addressing both the production of plastic and sustainable management of waste. One crucial step could be mobilising citizen science as a

The RECLAIM project explores new, more innovative solutions, needed to reduce costs and improve waste treatment efficiency even further. (Published in Waste Management World). Despite the success of large-scale MRF facilities, there are cases where new, more innovative solutions are needed to reduce costs and improve waste treatment efficiency even further. The RECLAIM project explores
