Picking up from where we left… the big question: why Kefalonia Island for our AI-driven prMRF implementation? This slideshow explains the key reasons behind the prMRF deployment on the island. In RECLAIM project, our end-users are HELLENIC RECOVERY RECYCLING CORPORATION and Ionian Islands, who have shown keen interest in the prMRF’s potential for Greece’s many […]
Four projects – Reclaim, Grinner, Wood2Wood and EcoRefibre – brainstormed on effective, efficient and sustainable pathways to advance circularity imperatives of the European Union (EU).
RECLAIM Project will participate in Ecomondo 2024 scheduled to be held in Rimini, Italy in November this year!

To this end, the RECLAIM consortium organised an open training workshop last month on trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Circular Economy. The objective behind the workshop was to present the latest developments in AI, Robotics, and socially sensitive gaming, and how these can support circular economy and Trustworthy AI. The training program invited specialists in
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

The RECLAIM Project recently concluded its second General Assembly hosted by consortium partner KU Leuven at their Department of Mechanical Engineering campus in the heritage city of Leuven, Belgium.
RECLAIM is a portable material recovery facility packed in a box but we are actually thinking outside of it! The last 18 months have been an intense test-bed of expending energy on experimentation and implementation of our solution at RECLAIM project. While we made good use of robotics, grippers, advanced imaging and artificial intelligence to

The fourth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (Plastic Pollution INC-4), is underway in Canada. What happens here will advance the draft global treaty towards its final version, ensuring that the stage is set for ending plastic pollution in the next session (INC-5) in Busan, Korea. At RECLAIM Project, we wholeheartedly support this instrument but are also taking active steps to be the solution to the plastic problem.
Empowering robots with Artificial Intelligence, supported by computer vision and deep learning, will boost accuracy in identifying various waste streams, thereby increasing both the quantity and quality of recovered secondary raw materials.
