How AI Is Tackling India’s Waste Crisis for Cleaner, Healthier Cities

India generates over 1.7 lakh tons of waste daily, exposing over 1.5 million ragpickers to toxic materials. SUKA(R), an AI-powered sorting machine by Ishitva, automates this hazardous work—sorting 6 tons of waste per hour with 99% accuracy. By reducing human exposure, it offers a scalable, tech-led solution to India’s growing public health and sanitation crisis.
