Our take
Some 60% of the 2 Billion tonnes of solid waste produced globally each year ends up in open dumps and landfill, causing major environmental impact. While global recycling rates are just 14%, a consequence of inefficient recycling systems, rising labour costs, and strict quality requirements imposed on recycled material. Hence Greyparrot is responding to a major opportunity of applying waste recognition software to boost recycling efficiency, reduce impurities and support scalability.
Greyparrot AI helps companies work in a circular economy by highlighting inefficiencies in sorting at waste facilities. The artificial intelligence vision can spot items on a conveyer belt faster and with better accuracy than a human. Their system automatically identifies different types of waste, providing composition information and analytics to help facilities increase recycling rates.
The opportunity for Greyparrot is clear, and the startup’s goal is to become the most accurate and widely used waste recognition software, unlocking the financial value of waste whilst having a measurable impact on the environment.
