Scaling sustainability data extraction with Generative AI for a Global Plastic Waste Reduction Initiative
A global non-profit working to eliminate plastic waste launched a platform to help map waste flows and support both researchers and member companies in improving waste management practices. Yet data acquisition remained a major bottleneck. Extracting figures from lengthy sustainability reports was manual, time-consuming, and prone to inconsistencies. To scale its impact, the organization needed an GenAI-powered solution to automate data extraction, reduce manual workload, and improve both accuracy and efficiency across the board.
