Software for Climate Part 1 — Behind the Scenes at Recology
We kick off the Software for Climate series with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Recology, San Francisco’s pioneering resource recovery company. We will explore how waste is collected, sorted, and managed at scale—an essential part of the carbon equation.
This visit offers a firsthand look at the intersection of software, robotics, and automation in modern waste management. You’ll see how advanced sorting technologies at Recology’s Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) increase efficiency and improve the purity of recycled materials. The tour also highlights Recology’s use of zero-emission vehicles, including hydrogen-powered and electric collection trucks, and automated landfill gas collection systems that capture methane for renewable energy.
Whether you’re curious about sustainability data systems or the physical machinery behind recycling, this event bridges the digital and material worlds of climate innovation.
