What is a smart bin?

Smart bins are designed to recognize different types of waste and sort them. They are a fully enclosed system that minimizes contamination of the recyclables, prevents misuse, and simplifies the recycling process. Mostly they are made of sensors, mechanical processors, image processing units, and communication modules. The AI smart recycling bin is made usually with recycled material and is energy efficient, which helps you in creating a circular economy.

Cross-contamination of waste: greenhouse gas like methane and CO2 can be produced by cross contamination of waste. The smart bin helps to prevent that from happening which in turn reduces the cost of your residual waste. When people throw their waste mixed together, the waste becomes contaminated and is more expensive to recycle. This leads waste management companies to landfill and burns which causes CO2 emissions and land+sea pollution.
Contact free lid for smart bin: It's a well-known fact that we have to disinfect our hands when we touch dust bins but when working in a busy office with busy schedules you can't disinfect your hand each time you use the bust bin. Don't worry, as this smart bin has an automatic contact-free lid by which you can keep your hand's germs and bacteria-free.
Maintain hygiene when using the smart bin: A garbage bin always attracts insects and rodents when dust and waste are poured into it without sorting. harmful insects, germs, and bacteria will breed and proliferate in such kind of ecosystem. AI automated sorting recycling bins can prevent this from happening.

Save your time with a smart bin: One of the most important things which we should keep in mind is to clean up the trash regularly for which the waste management crew has to check the waste bin frequently so that the bin doesn't overflow. With a smart bin, you can get a notification that points out the fill level of the bins by which we can empty them.
Sorting waste in your smart bin: The primary step of the waste management process is to sort the waste at the consumer level.
