EverestLabs launches agentic AI platform for recycling plants

EverestLabs launched Navigator on 24 August 2026, a multi-agent AI platform for materials recovery facilities handling plastics, fibre and metals, combining vision, language and reasoning agents to monitor sorting lines and equipment. The company claims the system can lift facility throughput by 20 to 30 percent and is integrating it with Pellenc ST and Schneider Electric automation systems, with Caglia Environmental as an early customer.
