Its flagship AMP ONE systems provide full-scale facility solutions for sorting municipal solid waste (MSW), single-stream recycling, and other material streams, enabling lower-cost recovery of commodities and increased landfill diversion. The company has deployed systems in locations such as Portsmouth, Virginia; outside Cleveland, Ohio; Pitt County, North Carolina; and a Waste Connections facility in Colorado, with over 400 AI systems operating across North America, Asia, and Europe. In December 2024, AMP raised $91 million (or $91.1 million per one source) in a Series D equity financing round led by Congruent Ventures, with participation from Sequoia Capital, XN, Blue Earth Capital, Liberty Mutual Investments, CalSTRS, Wellington Management, Range Ventures, and Tao Capital Partners. This funding supports accelerated deployment of AMP ONE systems to process MSW and single-stream recycling, building on existing installations and partnerships like the recent agreement with Waste Connections Inc. AMP's AI platform has processed 150 billion items and sorted over 2.5 million tons of recyclables, positioning it to address stagnating U.S. recycling rates and reduce emissions by diverting materials from landfills. Congruent Ventures, managing over $1 billion in climate tech assets, highlighted AMP's role in real-world AI applications for sustainability across themes like sustainable production and consumption. The round underscores investor confidence in AMP's potential to reshape waste management amid growing demand for resource efficiency.

By the time of this funding round, AMP had hundreds of deployments across three continents and a coast-to-coast presence spanning more than 20 U.S. states including California, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. AMP planned to use the Series B capital to scale operations, develop new AI applications for materials recovery, and expand partnerships with consumer packaged goods companies like Keurig Dr Pepper to support circular economy initiatives. The company also operated a leasing program with monthly payments starting below $6,000 to make its robotic systems more accessible to waste management businesses.
