About rStream
rStream develops on-site robotic sorting systems for mixed waste. Its equipment combines computer vision, material identification and robotic handling to separate recyclables, food and residual waste at the point of collection while recording operational data.
The company targets stadiums, events and other facilities where material is normally collected before central processing. Recovery performance depends on the local waste stream, contamination, feed method and configured output categories.
