Reducing food waste in the HORECA sector using AI-based waste-tracking devices.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
This study assesses the effectiveness of an intervention employing an AI-based, fully automatic waste-tracking system for food waste reduction in HORECA establishments. Waste-tracking devices were installed in a restaurant within a holiday resort and...

Enhancing e-waste management: a novel light gradient AdaBoost support vector classification approach.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The global consequences of electronic waste significantly affect the environment and human health. Accurate classification is essential for effective recycling and management to mitigate serious environmental harm caused by improper disposal. However...

Classification and predictive leaching risk assessment of construction and demolition waste using multivariate statistical and machine learning analyses.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Managing construction and demolition waste (CDW) poses serious concerns regarding landfilling and recycling because of the potential release of hazardous elements after leaching. Ceramic materials such as bricks, tiles, and porcelain account for more...

Trustworthy and Human Centric neural network approaches for prediction of landfill methane emission and sustainable waste management practices.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Landfills rank third among the anthropogenic sources of methane gas in the atmosphere, hence there is a need for greater emphasis on the quantification of landfill methane emission for mitigating environmental degradation. However, the estimation and...

Prototype of AI-powered assistance system for digitalisation of manual waste sorting.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
