A New Approach to MSW Diversion: Inside U.S. Largest Recycling Project
Monday, Apr 13, 2026 02:30 PM EST
Join us for an in-depth look at the largest recycling infrastructure project in the United States: the 20-year partnership between the Southeastern Public Service Authority of Virginia (SPSA) and AMP. Serving more than 1.2 million residents, the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered system is designed to process up to 540,000 tons of waste annually and divert approximately half of the incoming waste stream from landfills through advanced sorting and organics recovery.
This session will focus on what matters most to municipalities:
- How the system operates within a public authority structure.
- Technology differentiation and how AI-driven sorting performs in real-world municipal solid waste environments.
- Results to date, including diversion progress, system uptime and operational stability.
- Financial and long-term impact, including landfill life extension and reduced lifecycle disposal costs.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how the technology works, how it performs within live municipal waste streams, the operational results delivered so far and how this approach represents a new model for sorting mixed waste at scale.
