Waste is a tricky problem. Once a product has left an IKEA store, IKEA can no longer tell whether it will be returned, passed on to college freshmen, or landfilled. So, first of all, IKEA wants to prevent wasted products. The company installed AI at 50 branches in the United States last fall. So far, the company only accepts returns for products sold in-store, but will also support online returns. This AI predicts optimal reuse of returned goods. Reuse can include returning a product to a store, listing it on a website, donating it to a charity, or contacting a third party. This AI algorithm makes the judgment with Ikea’s profits as the highest priority.
By working with AI, we can minimize return waste

Ikea furniture is ubiquitous, affordable, user-friendly, very popular and can be found in Craigslist, general stores and apartments. This large Swedish retailer sells about 12,000 products a year, worth about $ 44.6 billion, and about one in ten of these products is returned. In light of this high return rate, Ikea recently announced a new approach that uses artificial intelligence to process returned items without throwing them in the trash.
This AI has little dependence on Ikea employees except for return acceptance checks. The person receiving the return must enter the status of the returned item.
This information is needed to determine the fate of the returned product

As I was organizing my room, many old notes came out. I write anything. It’s an old note, so it doesn’t make sense to read it now. But I know when and where I was doing what. I can’t help knowing that. Old notes are garbage.
What is garbage? Isn’t that something unnecessary? Objects that waste space must be certified as garbage. It’s something you don’t need in your life.
However, about 10% of garbage can be reused. Such things can escape from the garbage. That’s why it’s been fun to sort garbage lately.
That’s it for today’s post. Thank you
