The United States throws away $6.5 billion worth of reusable material every year, and the recycling rate has remained flat for over a decade. Now, tech companies are using artificial intelligence and robotics to make the process safer, more efficient, and more common. But can they really raise the recycling rate in a country with more than 9,000 recycling programs?
