RecycleOS: AI and robotics operating system for recycling facilities
About
EverestLabs builds RecycleOS, an AI-enabled operating system that digitizes and automates material recovery facilities. Vision AI scans recyclables in real time and directs robotic arms to pick and sort targeted items — the company claims around 90% pick success at 2–3x manual sorting speed, with robots that install in hours without retrofits.
Veolia Australia and New Zealand deployed it in Perth in 2025, its first international installation. Unlike pure analytics players, EverestLabs pairs vision with physical sorting robots. The pick-rate figures are company-reported, and retrofitting robotics into legacy MRFs still requires operational change management.
What it can do
- Vision AI material recognition
- Robotic picking and sorting
- Real-time plant operations visibility
- PET stream separation (bottles, thermoform, pigmented)
- 24/7 remote robotic operations monitoring
- Turnkey retrofit deployment
Setup
- Engage EverestLabs for a facility assessment
- Install robotic cells with vision AI over conveyor belts
- Configure target materials and sorting streams
- Monitor via the 24/7 Robotic Operations Center
- Track recovery rates and purity analytics
Prerequisites
Material recovery facility; conveyor line access
