Smart Cyclers develops office furniture recycling technologies. Using industrial shredders, X-ray sorters, and AI-enabled scanners, it breaks down unwanted furniture into its basic components - wood, metal, plastic, textiles and foam. These materials are then used as high-purity secondary raw materials for manufacturing or as sources of clean fuel, effectively closing the office furniture recycling loop. Smart Cyclers also uses image processing and AI-powered analytics to identify, measure, and report on the environmental impact of furniture in real time.
