How Singapore is Winning the E-Waste Battle with AI
Singapore is targeting its booming e-waste sector with cutting-edge AI solutions:
-
Microsoft’s IDARS: At its Circular Center, AI crafts custom zero-waste plans for each device, directing components to optimal reuse or recycling channels.
-
Mol-e ATMs: These reverse-vending machines offer instant rewards for electronics, making recycling accessible and appealing.
-
Public-Private Synergy: Initiatives align with national goals under the Green Plan 2030, responding to strong public demand for “simpler, secure” recycling.
The result? Higher recovery rates, reduced landfill burden, and a blueprint for global e-waste management.
