Greyparrot’s AI platform, Analyzer, is designed to help material recovery facilities (MRFs) and packaging companies recover and recycle more resources, extracting the value of materials that historically end up in landfills, oceans or incinerators. The company says the program powers recovery and sorting solutions with AI-led continuous monitoring that is accurate at scale, covering 100 percent of recovered material with far less time and money. The company adds it currently analyzes over 75 billion waste objects annually and has helped customers direct nearly 70,000 tons of waste back into the circular economy.

“We’re thrilled that Greyparrot was selected for the 2024 Global Cleantech 100 list,” says Ambarish Mitra, the company’s co-founder. “The recognition from Cleantech Group reflects the real impact that our technology has on sustainability. By putting waste intelligence in the hands of the people recovering, redesigning and regulating waste, we’re diverting reusable materials away from landfills to shape a more resilient and circular future.”
