Our mission is to improve recycling efficiency and minimise the environmental impact of waste.

Our mission is to improve recycling efficiency and minimise the environmental impact of waste.
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.

The most enjoyable part of working at Greyparrot is to do so alongside an incredible team of people. Everyone here is low-ego, ambitious and passionate about their work. And besides the work itself, it's great fun!

Many people in the team are parents with young children. I became a dad during my time here, and I was so grateful to have done so in a team that understands. Flexible working, the policies in place, and the fact that so many in the team know what it's like to be a new parent all made a huge difference.

The biggest appeal about working here is that the work is meaningful. Greyparrot is trying to solve a huge, planetary-scale problem where doing so would leave a positive mark on the world. That also means it's hard! But it's hard problem worth working on, both technically and commercially.

Our machine vision learning system is changing the way waste is processed at recycling facilities. It is super exciting to work on new processes and research ways to improve the existing system. It is also satisfying to work on sustainable tech!

As a sales person it is always a pleasure to deal with a product that truly adds value, especially when it is something as innovative as Greyparrot's analysers. The scope for improvement through technology in the waste industry is clear to all, but Greyparrot's application of AI in creating actionable insights from waste analytics is something quite special.
