The world has a garbage problem.
This is what we do
The majority of our waste ends up incinerated or pollutes our environment
-
By 2050, the annual amount of waste worldwide will increase by around 70 percent to 3.4 billion tons
-
Even today, our waste cannot be disposed of sustainably with outdated sorting technology and manual sorting
Our vision
We want to make it possible for 100% of our resources to be recycled in a closed loop. The basic requirement for this is sorting.
We are developing solutions with artificial intelligence to sort more materials according to type and at the same time more cost-effectively.
We are developing the innovative AI sorting system for the future of recycling
-
Significantly cleaner sorting with high throughput.
-
Only 1 machine is required for 4 different material flows.
-
New material flows possible (e.g. food & non-food).
1
Material and object properties are recognized using visual sensors and AI.
2
Reinforcement learning controls the nozzles to direct objects into the correct channel.
3
Sensors in the channel send feedback to the algorithm for self-learning optimization
About us
We at WeSort.AI specialize in the granular analysis and sorting of waste objects using artificial intelligence. As a tech company, we have special know-how in deep learning object recognition and segmentation. In doing so, we want to make a significant contribution to the urgently needed resource cycle.
