TOMRA’s Post

We’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking innovation for the recycling industry! For the first time, large-scale sorting of food-grade plastics is now possible, thanks to TOMRA’s intensive research and development in AI. Today, we’re officially launching some new, revolutionary applications for our Deep Learning technology GAINnext™, an add-on to our world-renowned AUTOSORT™. By combining our traditional sensors with our latest AI technology, we're able to identify objects that were previously hard and, in some cases, impossible to classify. With purity levels of over 95% for separating food- vs. non-food PP, PET and HDPE, new revenue streams are now emerging! Read our press release to learn how at TOMRA, we’re again pioneering the world of recycling: https://lnkd.in/eVSSXJZX #WasteIntoValue #Recycling #AISorting #IntelligentSorting #WasteIntelligence

A leap forward in AI and deep-learning integration for sorting, making food vs non-food object separation possible, and unlocking new revenue streams!

#AI 👉 it's time for #plastic, more precisely food and non-food packaging. The next milestone has been reached.🚀 📣 We are thrilled to announce that the intelligent network we have developed enables detection between food and non-food contact plastics ❗ This is a big challenge in the area of post-consumer packaging and the recycling industry. However with our powerful sensor system (NIR/VIS/3D shape) we are able to differentiate between these types of materials and push process analysis to new previously unachievable heights ❗ 🚀 Discover the potential of #AI and the state-of-the-art technology with us ♻ #Sustainability   #Recycling #CircularEconomy   #PlasticRecycling #Polymers #Sorting   #analyticswithallsenses

Using AI for recycling! In the framework of a call for projects by Citeo, a collaborative research project led by led by Recycleye, Valorplast, and TotalEnergies has achieved a world first towards food-grade polypropylene mechanical recycling.   ✨ The project, called OMNI, leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision to identify and separate food-grade PP from household post-consumer wastes.   🔎 After 18 months of research, the AI and robotic sorting achieved a successful pick rate of 50% of the food-grade material, with >95% purity. TotalEnergies then leveraged its polymer expertise to produce odorless, clean rPP suitable for high-end packaging applications.   ♻ The novel developed process opens new opportunities for circularity of polypropylene packaging and will positively contribute to our ambition to produce 1 million tons of circular polymers by 2030.   🔗 More information: https://lnkd.in/ejGDa6aa #TotalEnergiesIndustrySolutions #Recycling #Sustainability #Innovation #Polymers #Artificialintelligence

"AI has the power to transform resource recovery as we know it." Editor Rebekah Jordan spoke with Indrajeet Prasad, Mgr. Ing., MBA, product manager Deep Learning at TOMRA Recycling, to learn how its GAINnext system uses #deeplearning to identify and separate food-grade plastics for PET, PP & HDPE at high purity.

Achieving higher-quality recycling is a necessity and it is only through the combination of traditional sorting with the advanced deep learning technology that the industry will be able to deliver high-value outputs to meet increased recycled content targets. The transition to the circular economy is resulting in more regulations which can only be achieved by tapping into new technology such as GAINnext to deliver more granular sorting.
