Have you ever approached a set of recycling and trash bins, stood in confusion for a few moments, then just guessed where to throw your item away?
You’re not alone.
Only 9% of global plastic is recycled. And less than 20% of recyclable material in the United States actually gets recycled.
But knowing what to recycle and what to toss is not intuitive.
That’s what CleanRobotics is trying to change with their Smart Trashcan "Trashbot". Join us on this interview with the Co-Founder & VP of Engineering, Tanner Cook, as we unveil this startups story, the technology behind their product, and their hiring philosophy in an exciting stage of their startup growth.
