## Robotized waste sorting There is no other option for waste recovery and recycing processes than to boost efficiency because of the volume of waste produced and more stringent sorting instructions. Innovative solutions must be developed to recycle waste to meet environmental challenges. Today, at Veolia, artificial intelligence and robots are being used on sorting lines. **At the ARC EN CIEL 2034 waste treatment and recovery plant** in Nantes, France, Océane and her colleagues can sort a greater quantity of waste following the installation of Max AI® robot, equipped with cameras and a robotic arm. The introduction of these Max-AI® robots in France and Europe is a first. Self-learning, the robots record images of waste previously downloaded by employees. This simplifies the sorting agents' movements, improving their work safety, while also significantly boosting the volume of waste sorted.

And it's especially super inspiring to see how we can use new technologies to make what are very difficult tasks easier.** *Finley – Journaliste chez Fisheye* ## Continue your journey to meet our Resourcers [ ![Dorottya, Production Supervision Team Leader at the Oroszlány site](/sites/g/files/dvc4206/files/styles/content_push_teaser/public/image/2023/05/Ressourceurs-push-Dorottya-desktop-320x245.jpg.webp?itok=Dj9kbucz) ](/en/resourcers/dorottya "Dorottya, Production Supervision Team Leader at the Oroszlány site") Hungary - the Oroszlány site [Dorottya, Production Supervision Team Leader at the Oroszlány site](/en/resourcers/dorottya "Dorottya, Production Supervision Team Leader at the Oroszlány site") "Manufacturing membranes to remove pollution from water will turn the tide."
