Garbage sorting in Indonesia: Artificial intelligence comes in handy

Since Shanghai began to implement "the strictest garbage sorting measures in history" in July, garbage sorting has become a "required course" for many people's daily li.

The problem of garbage pollution is not unique to China, and many developing countries are troubl.

According to reports, plastic waste is a big problem facing Indones.

Gringgo, an Indonesian startup, hopes to tackle this problem with the power of technolo.

According to Gringgo CTO and co-founder Febriadi Platama, pricing recyclables is difficult due to Indonesia’s topograp.

Not only that, but in Indonesia, sanitation workers often have irregular routes and work schedules, and they also lack the knowledge and expertise to identify precisely which items have recycling val.

In 2017, Gringgo released several software related to garbage dispos.

Earlier this year, Gringgo was named one of 20 grantees of the Google AI Impact Challen.

With Google's help, Gringgo is working with another startup to develop image recognition tools using Google's machine learning platform, TensorFl.

With the blessing of artificial intelligence, sanitation workers will be able to take pictures of garbage and judge related items and their value through image recogniti.

According to Pratama, Gringgo's goal is to continuously optimize the artificial intelligence model to make it more sustainable from an economic point of view, and to achieve widespread applicati.

"We believe that artificial intelligence can help solve the most difficult social and environmental problems of our time - such as medical care, disaster prediction, environmental protection, agriculture or cultural preservati.
