In this episode of Crazy About Packaging, the C.A.P. Pack - Natalie, Mike, and Jonathan - are joined by Joe Castagneri, Director of Software at AMP, to break down how AI is changing the way recycling systems work. From computer vision to robotic sortation, this episode looks at what actually happens inside a recycling facility and how smarter systems can recover more material without relying on perfect consumer behavior. Tune in to explore: How AI-powered sortation identifies and separates materials in real time Why recycling is not just a system, it’s a business with real constraints The difference between AI used for recycling and the tools most people know today How better sorting improves bale quality and makes materials more valuable What happens when AI is used to recover recyclables before they reach landfills If you’ve ever questioned whether recycling really works (or what it takes to make it work better) this episode gives you a clear look inside the system.
