This is a market opportunity to come up with less costly systems that can operate at slim margins and with scale.
Recycling will never be the greatest of businesses. However the scale of demand in a country as large as the US is extraordinary. 5% margins at $100 billion in sales is ultimately a giant, $60-$80 billion market cap business. That's the kind of opportunity this presents for an enterprise that can quickly move to be the solution to the post China recycling problem.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI always think this is a great opportunity for AI and Robotics. Sorting recycling automatically would be a huge improvement. Edit: I know you are not supposed to ask about downvotes but I have no idea why this got downvoted. This would finally be an application of AI that benefits mankind instead of more surveillance for ads.
