About EarthSort

EarthSort is a simple, AI-powered tool designed to make recycling easier and more accurate for residents, while supporting the goals of cities and recycling partners. Using advanced AI, EarthSort identifies materials through your mobile camera and provides clear, location-specific disposal guidance based on your local provider's rules.

Our goal is to reduce confusion, lower contamination, and make recycling guidance more consistent across communities. By connecting individual action with local recycling rules, EarthSort helps residents make the right choice at the moment of disposal, and gives communities a clearer view of what materials cause the most confusion.

EarthSort is designed to complement existing recycling programs by helping residents get clear guidance at the point of disposal.

✓ Reduce contamination with photo-based guidance tied to local rules
✓ Expanding multilingual support to help cities meet evolving communication requirements
✓ Adapt when local rules change, without reprinting mailers
✓ Run low-risk pilots with minimal staff burden

EarthSort does not change your recycling rules. It helps residents follow them.

As Extended Producer Responsibility expands worldwide, cities and partners are increasingly asked to demonstrate effective resident education. EarthSort combines local guidance with engagement data to support that goal.
