AMP, a company offering AI-powered sorting solutions for the waste and recycling industry, is supplying its technology to a facility in Portsmouth, Virginia, owned by Recycling and Disposal Solutions of Virginia, otherwise known as RDS. This facility uses the AMP ONE system, which processes municipal solid waste, or MSW, to extract mixed recyclables and organic materials.
The partnership between AMP and RDS began in 2017, with the recent project at Portsmouth marking a significant advancement in their collaborative efforts. RDS added a 33,000-square-foot building to its Portsmouth site in 2023 and implemented an AMP ONE system later that year. RDS leverages AMP’s technology to enhance recovery rates and drive down processing costs to benefit local governments and communities.
The AMP ONE system is designed to be integrated with landfills and transfer stations. It separates bagged trash into recyclables, organics and residue, operates with over 90 percent uptime and processes 150 tons of local MSW daily to make large-scale waste sorting more efficient and economically feasible.
