How is AI actually reshaping the day-to-day in the circular economy—from sorting plants to collection fleets? And which expectations actually hold water?

Our panel dives into real-world applications: visual material recognition, sensor tech, and container tracking, alongside the logistics of video and operational data. We’ll explore how data-driven tools are transforming planning and reporting while zeroing in on the building blocks of robust data ecosystems and the vital role of honest expectation management.

Beyond the hype, we’ll tackle the risks head-on—from data privacy and quality to system dependencies. Join experts from industry, applied sciences, and software development to discuss what AI can—and can’t—do today, and what practitioners really need from policymakers to make the transition work.
