Glacier builds AI-powered recycling robots that deliver real-time waste data while rescuing recyclables from landfills. Over 75% of the US׳s recyclables aren׳t recycled. Glacier׳s robot sorts recyclables accurately and cheaply, while collecting recycling data for recyclers, brands, and governments to improve recovery rates and circular packaging design.

Building a world in which every single can, box, and bottle that gets thrown away can be traced and recovered.

  • Why this matters

    Glacier utilizes transformative new technologies — like AI and automation — that help us move faster and develop more needle-moving climate solutions. AI now enables us to track waste streams at scale, in real-time, at the item level. Glacier believes that robots can take on the backbreaking work of sorting through our recycling and waste streams to rescue more items from landfills, in a cost-effective way.

  • What you can do

    Stop wishcycling — the recycling triangle logo can be misleading. If you׳re not sure whether something can be recycled, check with your local recycling company to see what they accept. Vote with your dollar — buy products made from recycled materials and avoid products in packaging that can׳t be recycled.
