Artificial Intelligence for Nonferrous Scrap Recycling In the scrap metal recycling industry, business-as-usual is quickly becoming unsustainable. As new materials come down stream and China increases its restrictions on US imports, there is a need to bring high-tech solutions to currently low tech processing facilities. Solvus Global is providing these high-tech solutions with the development of AI sortation systems and opportunities for increased commodity value. Sean Kelly and Emily Molstad currently lead the development and commercialization of the sortation technology. To further assist their efforts, Solvus Global’s sustainability team recently completed the National Science Foundation Innovation-Corps (NSF I-Corps) program. A rigorous seven weeks were spent learning about the effective ways to develop a high value product and identifying a first entry customer. The team traveled across the country talking to over 100 experts and gaining key insight to the complicated world of scrap metal processing. Emily Molstad is a Masters Student in the Material Science and Engineering program at WPI and completed her BS in Mechanical Engineering May of this year. Her passion for sustainability drives her career and is incorporated in all projects she takes on. She has previous experience in electronic waste recycling and solar cell nano-material processing. Her junior year she traveled to Bangkok, Thailand to investigate methods for reducing consumption of single-use plastics. Emily started working for Solvus Global in May of 2018 as a material’s engineer and joined the sustainability team as entrepreneurial lead to tackle the I-Corps program.
