AETECH announced on the 23rd that it has been nominated as a finalist for the 'Edison Award 2025' with 'Iro-mrf', one of its waste management solutions.
The 'Edison Awards' is one of the world's most prestigious innovation and invention awards, and is given to creative and innovative ideas, technologies, services, and products. This year's awards ceremony will be held in Fort Myers, Florida, USA on April 3, and Aettech is expected to receive one of the Gold, Silver, or Bronze awards in the Manufacturing and Logistics – Production Process Innovation category.
Aettech's 'airo-mrf (AI Robot Material Recovery Facility)' is a resource recovery facility that utilizes robots, where robots are in charge of the entire process from loading and unloading waste to preprocessing and postprocessing. In particular, the AI-based waste optical sorting robot 'Atron' plays a key role in waste sorting. Through this, Aettech plans to produce high-purity PET flakes and play an important role in the resource recycling industry. The airo-mrf facility is scheduled to open in Gyeongseo-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon this year.
Aettech said, “We are honored to receive the world’s most prestigious innovation award,” and added, “This Edison Award nomination is recognition of our waste management technology innovation.” They added, “The smart automated facility, Airo-MRF, will lead innovation in the waste industry and contribute to sustainability.”
