EverestLabs的RecycleOS分揀機器人協助芝加哥新建回收設施交易所提高回收率、收入並維持每月約1200萬個鋁製飲料罐的質量控制
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.
加利福尼亞州弗裏蒙特和芝加哥，2024 年 5 月 16 日 /PRNewswire/ — 珠穆朗瑪峯實驗室，的開發者 RecycleOS是第一個用於物料回收設施（MRF）和回收商的人工智能操作系統，今天宣佈與之建立合作伙伴關係 LRS，美國第五大獨立廢物轉移、回收和便攜式服務提供商。在來自的資金支持下 罐頭製造商協會 (CMI) 會員 Ardagh 金屬包裝 和 皇冠控股，LRS在其新開業的MRFThe Exchange中安裝了EverestLabs的RecycleOS物料分揀機器人，以幫助增加收入並確保廢舊飲料罐（UBC）的最大效率、回收和回收利用。EverestLabs機器人協助LRS對交易所每月超過35萬磅的再生鋁進行質量控制，相當於大約1200萬個鋁製飲料罐。
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.
租賃計劃是 CMI 數年努力中的最新一次 展示通過捕獲錯誤分類的UBC可以爲回收系統帶來潛在的額外收入，並刺激在MRF中安裝額外的罐頭捕獲設備。與LRS的合作緊隨其後 合作 在 CMI、EverestLabs 和 Caglia Environmental 之間，後者已捕獲 大於 1,500 自從 Caglia MRF 安裝以來，每天都會增加 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可持續發展高級副總裁斯科特·布雷恩表示：“由於兩項機器人租賃協議均包含收入分成，CMI能夠充分利用UBC一直是最有價值的可回收商品之一。”“CMI將從機器人收集的罐頭中獲得所有收入的一部分，然後將這些資金用於在MRF中購買更多的罐頭捕獲設備。”
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捕獲分類不當的罐頭是提高美國鋁飲料罐回收率的一種方法。CMI 的 2020 年研究，”鋁製飲料罐：美國回收系統的驅動力，“發現，在所有進入MRF的UBC中，多達25％可能由於無法恢復而出現分揀錯誤和丟失。旁邊 行業統計 顯示不到一半的鋁飲料罐是由美國消費者回收的，很明顯，鋁回收生態系統需要改進，而UBC在循環經濟中沒有被充分利用和發揮其潛力。這就是爲什麼CMI在回收中心進行適當的分揀是其中之一 四大行動支柱 達到其雄心勃勃的美國鋁飲料罐回收率 目標。
"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創始人兼首席執行官JD Ambati表示：“芝加哥交易所是我們與CMI合作的第二個項目，我們一直支持他們的使命，即大幅增加UBC的回收量。”“我們高度精確、易於部署的視覺系統和機器人使改造現有的分揀和最後一次機會生產線成爲可能，而所有權成本對MRF和鋁包裝公司來說都非常合理。”
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 宣佈交易所盛大開業這是一項最先進的 MRF，它徹底改變了廢物管理和回收實踐，並於今年晚些時候安裝了 EverestLabs RecycleOS Robotics 單元。在EverestLabs的材料回收工作的支持下，該設施每年能夠轉移2.24億磅的可回收物品，從而避免了芝加哥地區數千噸的二氧化碳排放。The Exchange背後的揭幕和環境使命爲改變有關廢物管理的對話以及對企業合作伙伴和組織進行負責任的生產、消費和回收行爲教育提供了機會。LRS對減少環境足跡的追求包括戰術變革，例如改善基礎設施，以及尋找像EverestLabs這樣的組織來提高現有設施的效率。
"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區域副總裁約翰·斯利維基表示：“在LRS，我們致力於突破回收的界限，與EverestLabs合作安裝這項創新技術增強了我們對可持續回收解決方案的承諾。”“通過將EverestLabs的RecycleOS機器人集成到我們的芝加哥材料回收設施中，我們進一步增強了拯救可回收物品免於進入垃圾填埋場的能力，並推進了投資基礎設施改善以減輕我們對環境影響的使命。”
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.
該交易所每天最多接受1,200噸的城市固體廢物（MSW），目前每小時處理25噸可回收物。該設施設有一個轉運站和一條單流分揀線，爲將來的擴建留出了空間，並接受單流可回收物、非危險和非特殊城市生活垃圾以及其他各種可回收物品。
