Glacier is a Series A startup based in San Francisco that builds robots and image data collection devices to improve recycling facilities in the following ways:

• a robot that identifies and sorts materials inside recycling facilities
• an analytics system that tracks recyclables and reports metrics to key stakeholders in the industry.

These technologies are already helping to divert tons of recyclables (literally!) from landfills every day.
