Process Analysis and Data Augmentation with SmartBin Products

Poor waste management poses a threat to human health. Apart from being unsightly, it pollutes the air, has an adverse influence on water bodies, and depletes the ozone layer when burned—all of which contribute to climate change. Conventional waste management strategies are frequently used inefficiently. Newfoundland-based, SmartBin is a startup enterprise making rapid product development and client engagement strides. This project aims to augment our efforts to sort and separate different types of garbage based on their properties. In addition, we want to investigate additional capabilities to add to our sensors to see which one performs best in our proposed system. Finally, we also want to validate the economic validity of this approach in the local market.
