Abstract Waste generation in smart cities is a critical issue, and the interim steps towards its management were not that effective. But at present, the challenge of meeting recycling requirements due to the practical difficulty involved in waste sorting decelerates smart city CE vision. In this paper, a digital model that automatically sorts the generated waste and classifies the type of waste as per the recycling requirements based on an artificial neural network (ANN) and features fusion techniques is proposed. In the proposed model, various features extracted using image processing are combined to develop a sophisticated classifier. Based on the different features, different models are built, and each model produces a single decision. Besides, the kind of class is determined using machine learning. The model is validated by extracting relevant information from the dataset containing 2400 images of possible waste types recycled across three categories. Based on the analysis, it is observed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 91.7%, proving its ability to sort and classify the waste as per the recycling requirements automatically. Overall, this analysis suggests that a digital-enabled CE vision could improve the waste sorting services and recycling decisions across the value chain in smart cities. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
