The pace of change during the 4th industrial revolution is so fast that we need to step back and see the whole picture in order to understand the disruption ahead. Digital manufacturing, artificial intelligence, new sensors, robotics and driverless cars converge with the circular economy shift and create a new unmapped landscape.

We have to redefine waste management and recycling during the 4th industrial revolution.
