AETECH, leading the future of the resource circulation economy, announced on the 7th that it won a Bronze in the Manufacturing and Logistics Production Process Innovation category at the '2025 Edison Awards' on the 3rd (local time).

The award-winning entry is 'airo-mrf (AI Robot Material Recovery Facility)', one of AETECH's Waste Management solutions. This solution is a robot-centered waste sorting automation facility designed around the company’s AI waste sorting robot, 'atron'.

Smart factories equipped with airo-mrf can increase the low recycling rate of existing sorting facilities, which is less than 30%, to 70%. They also more than double the resource circulation rate and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and incineration, contributing to a reduction in carbon footprint. airo-mrf produces high-purity PET flakes to supply recycled materials and aims to strengthen the value chain of resource circulation.

AETECH evaluated that this award recognized airo-mrf's value as a smart factory that innovatively transforms waste sorting processes and industries while realizing sustainability values. An AETECH representative stated, “Through winning the Edison Award Bronze, we have gained confidence in our solution” and added, “We will enhance trust in our solution based on this prestigious Edison Award win and continue to pursue innovative technological development.”
