We are committed to increasing transparency in recycling to support our transition to a circular economy and keep our planet clean for generations to come. Over the last 18 months, we have successfully built the Greyparrot AI Waste Recognition System, which is currently deployed globally on moving conveyor belts in sorting facilities to automate waste composition analysis to monitor, audit, and sort large waste flows at scale. We are empowering waste managers, producers and regulators with actionable insights previously unavailable to them - and this is just the beginning.

We do what we do because we want to use AI-computer vision and other technologies to have a positive impact on the world.
