Veolia Partners with EverestLabs to Boost Recycling Efficiency with AI-Powered Robotics

Veolia Australia has partnered with EverestLabs to deploy AI-powered recycling robotics at one of its material recovery facilities in Perth, marking the first international deployment of EverestLabs' technology. The deployment aims to improve sorting accuracy, boost recovery rates, enhance safety records, and enable AI-driven decision-making for recycling operations. Veolia's CEO, Richard Kirkman, said the partnership will help the company modernize recycling infrastructure and improve circular outcomes through innovation.

Veolia Australia has partnered with EverestLabs to deploy AI-powered recycling robotics at one of its material recovery facilities (MRF) in Perth, marking the first international deployment of EverestLabs' technology. The deployment aims to improve sorting accuracy, boost recovery rates, enhance safety records, and enable AI-driven decision-making for recycling operations [1].

The partnership involves the installation of EverestLabs' RecycleOS™ solution, which features vision AI and robotic sorting capabilities. The system achieves a 90% pick success rate, operating at speeds 2-3 times faster than manual sorting. The modular system installs quickly without retrofitting and operates 24/7 with remote monitoring through EverestLabs' Robotic Operations Center [2].

Veolia's CEO and Managing Director, Richard Kirkman, stated that the partnership will help the company modernize recycling infrastructure and improve circular outcomes through innovation. The deployment aligns with Veolia's broader global commitment to modernizing recycling infrastructure and improving circular outcomes through innovation [1].

This milestone expands EverestLabs' presence beyond its existing U.S. clients, such as Republic Services, Waste Connections, and Novelis, marking its first step into international markets [2].
