Live at Waste Expo: Brands to Benefit from MRFs’ AI Robotic Sorters?

MRFs love their AI-based robotic sortation systems from the likes of AMP, Greyparrot, or Glacier. They're more accurate, safer, and always show up for work. But CPGs also may benefit from package design and recovery data they're are generating.

May 6, 2024

Brands and CPGs have their own sustainability goals to hit, and data telling them how practically recoverable their existing and future packaging design actually are, in the real world would be worth in gold. AI-based pick-and-place robotic sortation cells at MRFs can deliver that data.

Dr. Bronner’s Paperboard Cartons Refill rPET Bottles to Ace LCA

Paperboard cartons get high LCA marks, but break down when wet. Meanwhile, 100% rPET bottles are circular, work great in the shower, and if they're refilled, are not single-use. Dr. Bronner’s refillable carton leverages both formats' strengths.

May 3, 2024

According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.
