Recorded live at SXSW, this episode brings together leaders from Van Dyk Recycling Solutions, Dow, and Greyparrot to explore how AI is reshaping the recycling system. From real-time data and material tracking to smarter packaging design and policy reform, it's a conversation about what's working, what's broken—and what could finally close the loop.
In this episode you’ll hear:
How AI helps sort waste faster, better—and more accurately than humans
What the data tells us about redesigning packaging for recycling and remanufacturing
Why transparency tools like QR codes matter for consumers
How companies test products for recyclability before they hit the market
