This week we reached a milestone in the Perfect Sorting project by demonstrating real-time classification of packaging waste using AI at the sorting plant of PreZero Nederland in Zwolle. This classification model has also been used at our facilities to perform sorting of different packaging waste streams into food-contact and other materials. The final goal is to sort packaging waste into more valuable streams for subsequent recycling, preferably into packaging. The last two years we have been working on this AI solution in a consortium with 9 brand owners, Ghent University, Radboud University, PolyPerception, and ourselves. We are now preparing for the next steps in the project. The last two days have been very inspiring and we are looking forward to these next steps.
