Major US airport makes bold change to public facilities: 'Incremental steps like this can build better traveler habits'
Recycling at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport just got a little easier with the addition of artificial intelligence-enabled recycling and waste bins. DFW has partnered with Arca Continental Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, its regional Coca-Cola bottler, to enhance sustainability efforts for travelers in the region. The partnership between the airport and CCSWB includes the installation of four AI-enabled recycling bins powered by SmartSort Technologies Inc. The bins are dual-stream units with receptacles for waste and recycling. As travelers approach a bin, its camera scans their items and displays directions for disposal on the screen. The dual-stream bins can be found in terminals D and E. The DFW headquarters and Department of Public Safety each got a triple-stream unit, which also includes a compost bin. "The introduction of AI-powered recycling bins enhances the traveler experience and reinforces our efforts to create a more sustainable airport through innovation and technology," Robert Horton, the vice president of environmental affairs and sustainability at DFW, told Business Wire. "Incremental steps like this can build better traveler habits that help reduce waste, increase recycling and engage our customers in new and exciting ways," he added. This installation follows CCSWB's success in adding 12 AI-powered recycling bins to the American Airlines Center during the NCAA women's Final Four tournament. Following the tournament, CCSWB increased the number of units to 21. DFW aims to become a zero-waste facility over the next few decades, which it states would require a 90% diversion from landfills and the implementation of a composting program. The airport is already making strides for the environment by implementing its "PourAway" pilot program and encouraging workers to compost leftover food to reduce its 32,000 tons of yearly waste. These installations by Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages will surely benefit travelers by helping them choose the correct bins.

Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Introduces SmartSort Recycling Bins in Partnership with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arca Continental Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages (CCSWB), the local Coca-Cola bottler for Texas and parts of Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas, has partnered with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to enhance sustainability efforts for travelers. Together, DFW and CCSWB have installed four smart recycling bins powered by SmartSort Technologies, Inc. These AI-enabled bins make it easy for travelers to separate recyclables from waste, creating a cleaner, more eco-friendly airport experience. Inside the airport, CCSWB installed dual-stream bins in Terminals D and E with receptacles for waste and recycling. Similarly, DFW Airport Headquarters and the Department of Public Safety each received a triple-stream unit, which offers a compost bin in addition to waste and recycling. As users approach, each unit's camera scans their items and displays appropriate disposal directions on the screen. SmartSort invests in sustainable technology to create better out-of-home recycling solutions for various industries. Many of these solutions include waste stream efficiency, source separation and data aggregation. 'The introduction of AI-powered recycling bins enhances the traveler experience and reinforces our efforts to create a more sustainable airport through innovation and technology,' said Robert Horton, DFW's Vice President of Environmental Affairs and Sustainability Department. 'Incremental steps like this can build better traveler habits that help reduce waste, increase recycling and engage our customers in new and exciting ways.' In addition to instant feedback on items for disposal, the units also provide data that allows the airport to monitor its long-term sustainability efforts. Over time, each bin tracks the quantity of materials recycled and provides detailed information on the items' final destinations, promoting greater transparency and accountability in the recycling process. 'It takes time to create meaningful change, and our focus is on introducing long-term solutions that truly make a difference in reducing waste and promoting sustainability,' said Abraham Tueme, Director of Sustainability, Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages. 'Installing SmartSort units at DFW Airport allows us to advance recycling efforts in our community in a way that benefits both travelers and the local environment.' This partnership follows CCSWB's previous success with AI-powered recycling solutions. In 2023, the company launched 12 SmartSort units at the American Airlines Center during the NCAA Women's Final Four Tournament. Following this initiative's success, nine additional SmartSort solutions were installed, bringing the total to 21 units.
