At the bin.
We're exploring an approach through a compact camera system for observation of items as they enter the recycling stream.

Contamination
Vision
Platform
A student-led team building a clearer
picture of what goes into recycling.
Better recycling
starts with
seeing the problem.
We’re developing a low-cost camera system to help identify visible contamination in recycling bins.
Our goal is to create a better understanding of the types and frequency of materials that shouldn't be recycled. We are beginning with the development of our prototype, and learning from those who deal with the realities of waste.
From a camera view to a clearer picture.
See it.
Understand it.
A connection between a camera at the bin, visible evidence, and valuable information to those managing recycling.
Make it visible.
The prototype aims to identify visible contamination in an image, for contextual review of an item or area of concern.
Turn it into insight.
We're exploring the creation of a dashboard concept for reviewing events, and understanding trends across bins.
If every bin could tell a story...
For campuses, businesses, and the teams that manage their waste, we want to make it easier to identify the next opportunity for improvement.

What is Resyn?+
Resyn is a student run initiative creating an affordable camera system for identifying visible forms of contamination in recycling, and providing insight on their bins
Is the product ready?+
Resyn is currently being developed. We are iterating our camera experience, prototyping our detection models, and building our dashboards while seeking feedback from recycling professionals.
What can the camera identify?+
We are focusing on visible forms of contamination. Our list of supported items and detection accuracy is currently under development. A picture can only tell you so much about what something is made of, and what it contains.
Who are you building for?+
We're talking to universities, companies, and teams that are looking to improve their recycling programs with a camera system. Conversations with waste and recycling professionals are helping shape our vision for Resyn.
How can I get involved?+
We want to hear from recycling operators, sustainability officers, and others who may be interested in testing out a prototype with us. Contact us using the link below to set up a time to talk with Manas.
