CLUSTER WASTE-RECYCLING-CLASSIFIES · 33 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-07-11
AI waste classification and recycling guidance
The cluster consists of 20 AI-powered products that classify waste from photos and guide disposal, recycling, and sustainability practices. Before the index began, dated entries appeared sporadically starting in June 2023, then a series of monthly entries from July to October 2025, followed by additional entries in January, February, May, and June 2026. Traction leaders among these products are BinGO and sort-smart-mobile, each with 1 star of activity signal, followed by SmartWasteAI with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
