Al Based Reverse Vending Machine.

Abstract

According to the invention "Al Based Reverse vending machine" empty containers typically made of materials such as plastic (PET), glass (beverage containers), and aluminum (can) are accepted autonomously with the integration of different sensors and actuators to identify the type of material, measure the weight, count the number of items, sort and shred them into semi-finished products for processing (recycling), and register the user's phone number or bank account using API and machine learning algorithm to make payments. Once the containers have been deposited, the machine can issue a reward in the form of a cash deposit, a bill, vouchers, or other incentives, depending on the user's order. The goal of the innovation is to overcome the ban on recyclable used empty containers and promote recycling while reducing waste by providing a way for consumers to participate in the recycling process and receive rewards for doing so.
