Making Waste Management Smart and Easy

Based in Pittsburg, PA., CEO Charles Yhap, VP Engineeing Tanner Cook and the CLEANROBOTICS team are developing technology to intelligently automate the recycling process.

In their own words (source – www.linkedin.com/company/10480183/)

At CleanRobotics, our dream is to make waste management smart. Our flagship product, the Trashbot™, will help corporations with dynamic and automated recycling. Welcome to a cleaner tomorrow. THE PROBLEM Recycling is hard. Rules change from place to place, new regulations are frequently introduced, and people are confused. Waste management remains the one process that corporations cannot measure or effectively sort. The burden of recycling is placed on individuals, and it is hard for busy people to get educated and keep up with the changing regulations. OUR SOLUTION What if there was a smart trash can that took care of recycling for you? You would no longer have to think about manually separating your recyclables. What if there was a Trashbot™ that took your waste, separated the actual trash from recyclable waste and dynamically updated your waste management processes with data on trash and recycling? Introducing Trashbot™, a robotic trash can combining next-generation robotics and sensor technology to automatically sort recyclables from everyday trash.

OUR Entrepid Network – Introducing Kyle Parsons and IndoSole

www.indosole.com

Soles with Soul – Preventing Tires from Polluting the Environment

In their own words: source – https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/3581852/

The idea for Indosole was conceived on a surf trip to Bali, Indonesia in 2004. A couple of young Californians were struck by the environmental issues faced by Indonesians, and inspired by an unusual pair of sandals they found there. By combining these two things, they created a unique solution to the problem of pollution in Indonesia in the form of a product that was both fashionable and functional.

RE-PURPOSE: With “Re-purposed” products, Indosole offers the most organic, toxic free and environmentally sustainable production process. There is no melting down, off gassing, or reforming of any material—just strong hands and minds.

RE-IMAGINE: “Repurposing” is an art of transformation. We learned this from our commitment to the local Balinese crafts people, the wise and resourceful artisans who taught us that waste could be reimagined, transformed into something purposeful. Through our strong relationship, we have saved thousands of tires from overflowing and overcrowded Indonesian landfills. And the thing is, we’ve only started to get our hands dirty. The more tires we save means a lower production of tire-derived fuel on the island, less landfills; and also, more shoes, more ideas, and an altogether healthier way of living.

RE-BIRTH: To enhance every aspect of your life, Indosole uses only locally sourced and animal free materials during its transformation of waste into fashionable and functional items. It is our dream to provide you with footwear that not only eliminates waste, but also, can give it a new life. Please join us on our quest to save 1 million waste tires from Indonesian landfills.
