🗑️ Embracing the circular economy🌱

The global waste problem is escalating rapidly. By 2050, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70%, reaching 3.4 billion tons per year. Yet, the majority of today’s waste either ends up in incineration or pollutes our environment. The current recycling technologies are often outdated or even manual, and therefore not sufficient to handle this growing challenge. ⚠️
♻️ Our Vision: A World with 100% Closed-Loop Recycling
At WeSort.AI, we believe in a future where 100% of resources are recycled in a closed-loop system, reducing environmental impact and creating value for our customers. The key to achieving this vision is efficient sorting. 🤖
We provide our customers with AI-powered solutions that enable precise and cost-efficient sorting of materials ranging from plastics and e-waste to wood and more, ensuring that valuable resources are recovered and reintegrated into the cycle. This means fewer resources wasted, less pollution, and a cleaner planet. 🌱
The Market Potential is enormous 📈
€3.1bn Serviceable Available Market (SAM) in Europe, and €9.2bn globally, focused on waste sorting. The recycling industry in the EU and US is growing at an annual rate of 10%.
The smart waste management market is projected to grow at a 15% CAGR by 2030, reinforcing the rising demand for AI-driven recycling solutions.
Starting in 2030, we plan to expand our solutions beyond recycling into industries such as manufacturing, security, mining, and food, with an additional €12bn SAM.
