Our Journey
The story of how TreasureBot evolved from academic research to a transformative sustainability solution
The Concept Takes Shape
The concept of TreasureBot was born from a deep exploration of sustainable development and clean technologies during a master's thesis. This research involved studying global waste infrastructures, circular economy practices, and regulatory frameworks, combining empirical data analysis with firsthand insights from around the world. The findings highlighted the immense potential for technology to dramatically improve recycling efficiency.
From Vision to Development
Recognizing the opportunity to address critical waste management challenges, we began developing skills in data science and artificial intelligence, envisioning an autonomous, AI-driven waste bin that could address inefficiencies, reduce contamination, and foster a circular economy.
Collaboration & Refinement
Our involvement with Le Wagon further refined this idea, providing access to advanced AI tools and experts in computer vision, deep learning, and environmental science. This collaboration helped transform academic insights into practical technological solutions aligned with real-world needs.
Transformative Solution Launch
TreasureBot now represents a powerful fusion of academic insights and real-world innovation, designed to boost recycling rates and align with the EU's ambitious environmental targets. By merging sustainability principles with cutting-edge technology, TreasureBot embodies a transformative solution to pressing waste management challenges, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
