Intelligent analysis across the value chain

Comprehensive AI waste analytics enable automation in sorting facilities, and increase transparency at each stage of the global value chain.

How our customers unlock waste intelligence insights

  • Easy-to-install units use cameras to track materials passing on conveyor belts.
  • Our AI translates images into real-time insight on a live dashboard.
  • Greyparrot Sync connects that live data stream to your existing or new hardware and software.

Understand municipal solid waste in detail

Our AI identifies all of the waste objects found in global municipal recovery sites. With 89 waste categories and counting - our recognition library is growing all the time.

“Waste intelligence serves as the catalyst for innovation in the waste ecosystem. Greyparrot unlocks a level of insight into our waste that has never been experienced before, and it's fuelling our ability to recover and reuse more material.

"Greyparrot will be part of the standard hardware for recovery facilities. I cannot see an MRF that wouldn't be using it in the future."

“Manual sampling generally covers less than 1% of the material that’s processed. With AI analytics, you’re essentially able to monitor all of the material over a material stream. There’s a stark contrast there.”

“By arming our plant managers with that information, they can now set thresholds or alerts, or study the dashboard and say there’s maybe too much hard plastic arriving on this line. That allows them to go back and make adjustments.”

“Everyone in the recycling industry has done a million composition trials. With this system, it’s like we have a 24/7 sampling system. Senior leadership can then make decisions based on data.”

The power of applied waste intelligence

Greyparrot Analyzer unit

99% more visibility

Counting waste by hand (sampling) is a routine procedure barely covering 1% of the waste flowing in a facility. Greyparrot Analyzer unlocks data on the remaining 99% - in real time.

630x lower sampling costs

The average facility in the UK manually samples 4.6t of PET a month, costing them £2,665. With Analyzer, it's just over £4. Continuous waste monitoring eliminates the need for costly manual sampling.
