Realizing efficiencies

At EverestLabs, we’re helping material recovery facilities (MRFs) work more efficiently through artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. Our RecycleOS solution is working to decarbonize the entire packaging ecosystem by allowing MRFs to recover more recyclables, leading to better profits and a more sustainable environment.

Why EverestLabs and why now?

We founded EverestLabs with a belief that AI-powered software, automation and data can help MRFs and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies create a better future for our planet.

MRFs are in the business of sorting hundreds of millions of tons of waste and recyclables, and it’s a business that is in dire need of modern technologies because of regulations, climate change goals, minimum recycled content goals, lack of staff and more. Now, with RecycleOS, we can treat MRFs like other critical infrastructure, making them smarter by combining EverestLabs’ robotics cells with its highly accurate AI-driven solution.

Through EverestLabs’ RecycleOS, MRFs worldwide now have access to actionable data that allow them to continually increase their operational efficacy by performing quality-control tasks. The results include 99 percent uptime, more than 95 percent AI-driven accuracy for picks and 90 percent efficacy rate for robotics cells.

EverestLabs’ 24/7 robotics operation center-led monitoring service helps plant operators focus on running their plants and only tending to robotic cells on an as-needed basis. MRF operators are experiencing a 25 percent to 40 percent increase in recovery with EverestLabs as unmonitored downtime is not taking hours or even days to correct with other providers. RecycleOS provides MRFs with differentiated, real-time information to manage their operations more efficiently, which is even more critical in a tight labor market.

What EverestLabs did is demystify AI and automation for the recycling industry. Our solutions can be deployed very easily and they offer predictable results. Gone are the days where operators are flying blind from a lack of easy-to-use, actionable data. Gone are the days where shift staff is reactive versus being proactive, and gone are the days where a shift supervisor had to worry about robot success rates and maintenance headaches. EverestLabs has solved all these issues with RecycleOS.

The RecycleOS solution has been a game-changer for global MRFs, but what about CPG brands? It comes down to data. Data we collect through our vision-guided operating system in MRFs can tell a CPG brand if its packaging is getting recycled or not. Today, carbon is the biggest threat to our planet, and our solution will help MRFs work more efficiently while ensuring CPG brands are doing their part to meet a sustainable future through decarbonization. CPG brands have committed to a sustainable future, and now we can share insights and measure their success.

EverestLabs’ engineers and visionaries are applying data, AI and vision-guided robotics to automate the messy process of sorting recyclables at MRFs worldwide. This means more profits for our partners, better insights for CPG brands and packaging companies and a more sustainable planet for our children.
