EverestLabs的RecycleOS分拣机器人协助芝加哥新建回收设施交易所提高回收率、收入并维持每月约1200万个铝制饮料罐的质量控制
FREMONT, Calif. and CHICAGO, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EverestLabs, developer of RecycleOS, the first AI-enabled operating system for material recovery facilities (MRFs) and recyclers, today announced its partnership with LRS, the nation's fifth largest independent waste diversion, recycling and portable services provider. With funding support from Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) members Ardagh Metal Packaging and Crown Holdings, LRS installed EverestLabs' RecycleOS material sorting robot in its newly opened MRF, The Exchange, on the residual line to help increase revenue and ensure maximum efficiency, recovery, and recycling of used beverage cans (UBCs). The EverestLabs robot assists in LRS maintaining quality control for over 350,000 pounds of recycled aluminum each month at The Exchange, which equates to approximately 12 million aluminum beverage cans.
加利福尼亚州弗里蒙特和芝加哥，2024 年 5 月 16 日 /PRNewswire/ — 珠穆朗玛峰实验室，的开发者 RecycleOS是第一个用于物料回收设施（MRF）和回收商的人工智能操作系统，今天宣布与之建立合作伙伴关系 LRS，美国第五大独立废物转移、回收和便携式服务提供商。在来自的资金支持下 罐头制造商协会 (CMI) 会员 Ardagh 金属包装 和 皇冠控股，LRS在其新开业的MRFThe Exchange中安装了EverestLabs的RecycleOS物料分拣机器人，以帮助增加收入并确保废旧饮料罐（UBC）的最大效率、回收和回收利用。EverestLabs机器人协助LRS对交易所每月超过35万磅的再生铝进行质量控制，相当于大约1200万个铝制饮料罐。
The lease program is the latest in a several-year CMI effort to demonstrate the potential additional revenue for the recycling system through capturing missorted UBCs and to spur the installation of additional can capture equipment in MRFs. The partnership with LRS follows on the heels of a collaboration between CMI, EverestLabs and Caglia Environmental, which has captured more than 1,500 additional UBCs per day since installation at a Caglia MRF.
租赁计划是 CMI 数年努力中的最新一次 展示通过捕获错误分类的UBC可以为回收系统带来潜在的额外收入，并刺激在MRF中安装额外的罐头捕获设备。与LRS的合作紧随其后 合作 在 CMI、EverestLabs 和 Caglia Environmental 之间，后者已捕获 大于 1,500 自从 Caglia MRF 安装以来，每天都会增加 UBC。
"With both robot lease agreements that include a revenue share, CMI is able to leverage that UBCs are consistently one of the most valuable recyclable commodities," shared Scott Breen, senior vice president of sustainability at CMI. "CMI is receiving a portion of all revenue generated from the cans collected by the robot and then using those funds for even more can-capture equipment in MRFs."
CMI可持续发展高级副总裁斯科特·布雷恩表示：“由于两项机器人租赁协议均包含收入分成，CMI能够充分利用UBC一直是最有价值的可回收商品之一。”“CMI将从机器人收集的罐头中获得所有收入的一部分，然后将这些资金用于在MRF中购买更多的罐头捕获设备。”
Capturing missorted cans at MRFs is one way to increase the U.S. aluminum beverage can recycling rate. CMI's 2020 research, "Aluminum Beverage Can: Driver of the U.S. Recycling System," found that up to 25 percent of all UBCs entering MRFs may be missorted and lost due to non-recovery. Alongside industry statistics showing a little less than half of aluminum beverage cans are recycled by U.S. consumers, it is evident that the aluminum recycling ecosystem needs improvement, and UBCs are not being captured and utilized to their fullest potential in the circular economy. This is why CMI has proper sortation at recycling centers as one of its four pillars of action to reach its ambitious U.S. aluminum beverage can recycling rate targets.
在MRF捕获分类不当的罐头是提高美国铝饮料罐回收率的一种方法。CMI 的 2020 年研究，”铝制饮料罐：美国回收系统的驱动力，“发现，在所有进入MRF的UBC中，多达25％可能由于无法恢复而出现分拣错误和丢失。旁边 行业统计 显示不到一半的铝饮料罐是由美国消费者回收的，很明显，铝回收生态系统需要改进，而UBC在循环经济中没有被充分利用和发挥其潜力。这就是为什么CMI在回收中心进行适当的分拣是其中之一 四大行动支柱 达到其雄心勃勃的美国铝饮料罐回收率 目标。
"The Exchange in Chicago is our second project with CMI, and we have been behind their mission to significantly increase the amount of UBCs recycled," said JD Ambati, founder and CEO of EverestLabs. "Our highly accurate, easily deployed vision systems and robots make it possible to retrofit existing sorting and last chance lines at a cost of ownership that makes perfect sense for both MRFs and aluminum packaging companies."
EverestLabs创始人兼首席执行官JD Ambati表示：“芝加哥交易所是我们与CMI合作的第二个项目，我们一直支持他们的使命，即大幅增加UBC的回收量。”“我们高度精确、易于部署的视觉系统和机器人使改造现有的分拣和最后一次机会生产线成为可能，而所有权成本对MRF和铝包装公司来说都非常合理。”
LRS announced the grand opening of The Exchange, a state-of-the-art MRF revolutionizing waste management and recycling practices, in August 2023, and installed an EverestLabs RecycleOS Robotics cell later this year. Supported by EverestLabs' material recovery efforts, the facility is able to divert 224 million pounds of recyclables annually, resulting in thousands of tons of avoided CO2 emissions for the Chicagoland area. The unveiling and environmental mission behind The Exchange has opened opportunities to change the conversation around waste management and educate corporate partners and organizations on responsible production, consumption and recycling behaviors. LRS' pursuit of reducing its environmental footprint includes tactical changes such as infrastructure improvements, as well as seeking out organizations like EverestLabs to advance efficiency in existing facilities.
LRS 宣布交易所盛大开业这是一项最先进的 MRF，它彻底改变了废物管理和回收实践，并于今年晚些时候安装了 EverestLabs RecycleOS Robotics 单元。在EverestLabs的材料回收工作的支持下，该设施每年能够转移2.24亿磅的可回收物品，从而避免了芝加哥地区数千吨的二氧化碳排放。The Exchange背后的揭幕和环境使命为改变有关废物管理的对话以及对企业合作伙伴和组织进行负责任的生产、消费和回收行为教育提供了机会。LRS对减少环境足迹的追求包括战术变革，例如改善基础设施，以及寻找像EverestLabs这样的组织来提高现有设施的效率。
"At LRS, we're all about pushing the boundaries in recycling, and partnering with EverestLabs to install this innovative technology amplifies our commitment to sustainable recycling solutions," said John Sliwicki, area vice president, LRS. "By integrating EverestLabs' RecycleOS robot into our Chicagoland materials recovery facility, we've further enhanced our ability to rescue recyclables from ending up in landfills and advanced our mission of investing in infrastructure improvements that lessen our environmental impact."
LRS区域副总裁约翰·斯利维基表示：“在LRS，我们致力于突破回收的界限，与EverestLabs合作安装这项创新技术增强了我们对可持续回收解决方案的承诺。”“通过将EverestLabs的RecycleOS机器人集成到我们的芝加哥材料回收设施中，我们进一步增强了拯救可回收物品免于进入垃圾填埋场的能力，并推进了投资基础设施改善以减轻我们对环境影响的使命。”
The Exchange accepts up to 1,200 tons per day of municipal solid waste (MSW) and currently processes 25 tons of recyclables per hour. The facility features a transfer station and a single-stream sorting line with space for future expansion and accepts single-stream recyclables, non-hazardous and non-special MSW, and other various recyclables.
该交易所每天最多接受1,200吨的城市固体废物（MSW），目前每小时处理25吨可回收物。该设施设有一个转运站和一条单流分拣线，为将来的扩建留出了空间，并接受单流可回收物、非危险和非特殊城市生活垃圾以及其他各种可回收物品。
