Greyparrot

AI waste intelligence: computer vision analytics for recycling plants

Visit official site →

About

Greyparrot mounts AI camera units called Analyzers above conveyor belts in recycling facilities, using computer vision trained on billions of data points to identify waste items from over 89 categories — material, brand, SKU, food-grade status and financial value — at up to 3 m/s with high count accuracy.

The company reports over 1 trillion waste detections and raised a $27M Series B to expand across North America and Europe, counting Veolia, WM and Biffa as clients. Its Greyparrot Sync API lets third-party sorters and robots embed the vision intelligence. Limitation: it is analytics, not sorting hardware — plants still need their own or partnered machinery to act on the insights.

What it can do

  • Real-time computer vision waste recognition
  • 89+ waste category identification
  • Brand, SKU and food-grade detection
  • Live operational dashboard
  • Compliance and purity reporting
  • Greyparrot Sync API for third-party machinery
  • Mass composition analytics

Setup

  1. Engage Greyparrot for a facility assessment
  2. Install Analyzer camera units above sorting belts
  3. Connect the live dashboard and alerts
  4. Integrate with existing sorters via the Sync API
  5. Use analytics to optimize recovery and reporting
