WASTE SORTING
Inconvenience truth of recycling
Most of recycled material we generate
Are not recycled.

Most of recycled materials we generate are not

being recycled. According to 2019 report

by Green Peace, only 23% is being recycled. The rest

77% end up in landfill or in the ocean, wander around  and

create a huge island of trash without being decomposed.

The trash island is 16 times the area of Korea

and weighs up to 80,000 tons.

Plastic waste increases every year and 
It will greatly affect our lives.

With a traditional method of manually sorting

the recycled materials, It becomes impossible

to handle  ever growing wastes. If we cannot sort

the recycled materials  from the waste,

The waste has to end up in a landfill or incinerator.

Such methods creates secondary and tertiary

environmental contamination And the result comes

right back to us.

Are we still looking for landfills?

In 2025, Seoul metropolitan landfill reaches

its capacity. In the traditional resource circulation

market structure, If the waste is not sorted

manually due to time constraint recycled wastes

end up in landfill or incinerator. Fundamental

measure is not looking for a new landfill. Rather,

it is to collect and recycle more resources fast. 

Manual recycling 
we have done so far,
Now, recycling is done 
by AI and robot.
