Improving waste management through AI is Great

For most, the stench of waste is just part of daily life. But for Clara, encountering it at her university one day became a turning point. 

Growing up, Clara always wanted to make a difference. Her family gave her educational opportunities they never had, and she felt she should make the most of them.

Indonesia’s waste crisis was already on her mind. When she saw a local competition calling for solutions to pressing issues, she knew she could do more.

With two friends, she developed a blueprint for an AI-powered waste sorting machine with 73% accuracy and the capacity to process 200kg daily. The machine would separate organic waste, plastic, and wood/metal for recycling and reuse.

Securing seed funding from investors marked the beginning of something bigger. At the same time, Clara accepted a scholarship to Italy to refine her AI knowledge and improve the system’s overall effectiveness.

Now, as she works to bring her AI-based machine to life, Clara is proud to represent her country and lead the charge in tackling Indonesia’s waste crisis.

“Growing up, I always knew I wanted to add value to the world."
