The article discusses the limitations of the traditional direct financial model characterized by extraction, creation, utilization, and disposal, which leads to resource depletion and excessive waste. To combat these issues, the concept of a circular economy is introduced, emphasizing the need for prolonged resource use, enhanced value extraction, and minimized waste generation. Technology, particularly AI and machine learning, is highlighted as essential in revolutionizing waste management by improving sorting processes and material recovery, which can significantly reduce the ecological footprint of waste materials.
The shift to a circular economy demands a fundamental reevaluation of our production and consumption patterns, with technology playing a crucial role in this transition.
AI and ML are transforming waste management by improving resource recovery and minimizing waste generation, making traditional methods more efficient and less error-prone.
