Our take
All materials have potential value for recycling or re-use if properly collected, aggregated, and processed. Recycleye is set to revolutionise recycling and accelerate the transition towards a circular economy, with its neural network providing a system that can identify and classify recyclable materials leading to more efficient sorting.
Recycleye has significant partnerships in place. As well as conducting paid pilots with the waste industry, it has partnered with Imperial College as well as Microsoft and Netherland’s Delft University to develop AI & machine learning. This ensures Recycleye has the newest capabilities and systems within its pipeline, keeping it at the forefront of development.
The global market for waste sorting is headed towards being worth more than $2 trillion a year, with the need for transparent and low cost solutions only expected to grow. Recycleye's system is affordable, data driven, and reduces the need for manual sorting, all contributing to the positive attention it has accrued. On top of this, significant funding has been raised by the company than will help scale operations and further improve its system's sorting accuracy.
