USA: Innovation Award for “The Topper Stopper”

“The Topper Stopper” won the award at the 2025 Charlotte Hornets Innovation Summit.

It is a patent-pending device, that combines barcode scanning, AI verification, and real-time analytics to eliminate recycling contamination. Invented by Marcus Wade of Genesis 1 Technologies LLC and commercialized through a partnership with Waste Wise Innovation, this recycling device secured a 25,000 US-Dollar investment, a press release underlined. “By retrofitting existing recycling bins with intelligent technology, the device transforms passive waste receptacles into active data collection and contamination prevention systems.”
