AI-powered sortation advances circular economy for recycled plastics AMP Robotics Corp. (?AMP?), a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and infrastructure for the waste industry, has deployed six AI-guided robotic sorting systems with Evergreen, one of the nation?s largest recyclers of PET bottles, at its Ohio processing facility. AMP?s technology identifies and sorts green and clear PET from post-consumer bales of plastic soft drink bottles, which Evergreen recycles into reusable flakes or pellets (rPET) and sells to end markets as feedstock for new containers and packaging. Evergreen is a subsidiary of Greenbridge, formerly Polychem, a leading manufacturer of polyester and polypropylene products, serving the food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, and industrial industries since 1974.
