It’s an amazing automated recycling gadget called Lasso. It has smart scanning and accepts your used materials using internal sensors, cameras and AI machine learning. If an item is not recyclable, Lasso simply returns it to you. No more recycling confusion. Lasso tracks your items in real-time, and you can even check products for recyclability on the move before buying them, with their in-app bar code scanner. The company says used materials can become valuable products. Processing delivers the consistency and purity required for close-loop recycling and remanufacture. Lasso can grind it, crush it, shred it. Plastic, metals and glass are broken down separately, reducing to a fraction of their size and maintaining valuable purity throughout. 74Db is said to be Lasso’s loudest process, which is quieter than the spin cycle of a modern washing machine. Once processed, Lasso channels your purified products into the storage container at the base of the appliance – safe and secure until it’s time for Lasso to collect them. When storage is approaching capacity, Lasso automatically notifies you via the smartphone app – required just 3-8 times per year. When collection is due, simply detach Lasso’s storage container and leave it at the curb. Lasso’s dimensions: Height 49.2″ / Width 23.6″ / Depth 35.4″ / Weight 265 lbs / Needs electricity and plumbed water. At a TED talk the price of the unit was expected to be $3500 to $4000. But it has the ability to become cash positive according to the Lasso website: Lasso will be marketing and selling the closed-loop recycled products produced by households. The sale price of the Lasso recycled products will vary due to future market forces.
