Multi-Tron (Dump & Go, AI-powered Waste Sorting Solution for Multi-use Facilities)

Aetech
  • 2026 Honoree in Smart Communities
Most waste sorting systems—manual or automated—are centralized, large-scale operations. Due to their noise, size, and infrastructure demands, these facilities are incompatible with urban buildings and often inaccessible to underserved communities. Waste is typically transported to distant sorting centers, increasing emissions and contamination risk. Multi-tron overturns this model with a decentralized system installed directly at the collection point. Designed for multi-use and public buildings, its compact, modular unit integrates pre-treatment and AI robotic sorting to reduce line length by 30% and maximize space. Its mobility enables deployment at outdoor events like festivals, where it collects and sorts waste on-site. Unlike traditional systems, Multi-tron’s clean, utilitarian design minimizes visual resistance in urban settings. Installed upstream, it enables early separation by material type, improving recovery quality and enabling high-purity recyclables. By replacing centralized infrastructure with localized automation, Multi-tron brings circular economy access to places once excluded—making smart, efficient waste management possible anywhere.
