<![CDATA[Waste management issues represent one of the major challenges in maintaining environmental sustainability, as the waste sorting process is still largely performed manually, requiring significant time and effort and relying heavily on human accuracy, which makes it inefficient and prone to errors. Therefore, this study utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology as a solution to support more effective and sustainable environmental management by proposing the use of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm to classify waste types based on digital images. The data used consist of waste images as inputs in the image processing stage, which are then classified into several waste categories. The CNN architecture applied consists of multiple convolutional layers with a kernel size of 3×3, max pooling layers for feature extraction, and a fully connected layer with a softmax activation function to determine the output class, while the model training process is optimized using the Adam Optimizer algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CNN model is capable of classifying waste types with a good level of accuracy, indicating that this AI-based approach can serve as an effective supporting solution for intelligent, efficient, and sustainable waste management systems and contribute to environmental conservation efforts.]]>
