Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport has introduced Oscar Sort recycling stations to aid travelers in proper waste disposal. The Oscar Sort system uses artificial intelligence to identify items and guide users to the correct disposal bin. Created by Intuitive AI, the Oscar Sort aims to educate users about recycling correctly, recognizing the variability in recycling practices globally. Each station features real-time scanning technology with a 92 percent accuracy rate. Furthermore, the stations include trivia to engage both adults and children about recycling practices.
"We find a lot of people have walked up to a bin and just don't know where things are supposed to end up, and that's again where Oscar becomes the hero across five continents. We're diverting waste away from landfill," he said.
"If you think about an airport, you have folks traveling from all over the world, and recycling might be different in different areas, or there might be a language barrier," said Rector.
Oscar has a 92 percent accuracy rate, Rector says. "A lot of the time, folks will walk up to Oscar and show an item, and they'll be so astounded that Oscar knows what they're holding."
