The world has a garbage problem.

The majority of our waste ends up incinerated or pollutes our environment

  • By 2050, the annual amount of waste worldwide will increase by around 70 percent to 3.4 billion tons
     

  • Even today, our waste cannot be disposed of sustainably with outdated sorting technology and manual sorting

Our vision

We want to make it possible for 100% of our resources to be recycled in a closed loop. The basic requirement for this is sorting. 

We are developing solutions with artificial intelligence to sort more materials according to type and at the same time more cost-effectively.​  

We are developing the innovative AI sorting system for the future of recycling

  • Significantly cleaner sorting with high throughput.
     

  • Only 1 machine is required for 4 different material flows.
     

  • New material flows possible (e.g. food & non-food).
