MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541060686 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on June 25, for 'smart e-waste recycling hub with iot and ai-powered sorting.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. M. Senthil Kumar; Mr. Pragatheeshvaran N; Mr. Purusothaman M J; and Ms. Puja G B.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Smart E-Waste Recycling Hub is an AI and IoT-powered system designed to automate the classification, sorting, and recovery of valuable materials from electronic waste. The system employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for accurate material identification, Arduino controlled servo motors for automated sorting, and IoT-based monitoring for real-time tracking and analytics. By optimizing the extraction of precious metals (e.g., gold, silver, copper) and reusable components, the system promotes sustainable recycling practices and maximizes resource recovery. This invention addresses the inefficiencies and environmental hazards of traditional e-waste recycling methods, offering a scalable and cost-effective solution to the growing e-waste problem."
