Glacier founders Rebecca Hu-Thrams and Areeb Malik developed AI-driven robots to address challenges faced by materials recovery facilities (MRFs). Their technology improves efficiency and recovery rates by providing insights into plant operations.

The robots, now operational in 15 states, identify objects with 95% accuracy and can handle over 70 material types. Facilities like Recology report significant improvements in processing flexible plastics and mixed paper streams.
