Our mission is to increase transparency and automation in recycling to unlock the financial value of waste and keep our planet clean.
Trusted by global leaders in waste management:
Greyparrot AI Waste Recognition System is deployed globally on moving conveyor belts in sorting facilities (MRFs, PRFs, and other reprocessors) to monitor, analyse, and sort large waste flows at scale.
Measure material purity and recovery at scale. Give your customers the high quality product they expect, and have the data to back it up. Using Greyparrot AI, you’ll gain increased confidence in your product - allowing you to provide better quality at a higher price and avoid returns.
Manual spot sampling is limited by time and resource constraints and as a result, covers a very small proportion of all processed waste. Continuous monitoring of waste through computer vision ensures a much better depiction of true waste composition, allowing you to unlock the true value of their waste.
Improve plant efficiency and up-time and save costs by taking proactive decisions for operational improvements and optimise facility parameters using accurate, real-time, composition data.
1. Monitor
The AI monitoring unit characterises 100% of your waste streams at material, product and brand level.
2. Analyse
Continuous monitoring and analysis of waste through AI computer vision ensures you get an objective representation of the true waste composition in real time.
3. Optimise
Improve operations and increase margins using real time data to spot trends in your facility. Connect drops in quality to factors such as low quality infeed, high volume/ dense throughput, downtime and machinery maintenance requirements.
Greyparrot works with leaders in resources and waste management globally.
“The technology has the potential to give us great visibility into our operations and directly aligns with our vision of enabling a circular economy. We’re using the systems to provide real-time analysis of the purity of our PET output material.”
“We have implemented Greyparrot at one of our sorting partner plants to monitor the purity of the output material close to the bale press. Given the challenging environment, we were positively surprised by the classification outcome. The real-time dashboard gives us an unprecedented amount of insight into the quality of the produced output fractions.”
“Thanks to Greyparrot we are able to get composition analysis done in continuum and in real time. Therefore we are able to create metrics that we can use to inform our decision-making on how to optimise our [waste] selection and sorting processes.”
"Our new bond with Greyparrot leads us towards innovation and helps us tackle one of the world’s current global issues – the waste crisis."
"Greyparrot has really helped us to define a method which is easy to implement. This allows us to gather a lot of valuable information from our sorting facilities and enhance our knowledge of packaging, sorting technologies and the sorting yield of the installation."
“We are excited to be part of these trials. We see many different types of plastics on our sorting facility, and we welcome the opportunity to be able to more efficiently identify and sort these for recycling.”
