99% more visibility into material

Manual sampling tracks less than 1% of your waste. AI waste analysis collects data on the remaining 99%, offering a precise breakdown of the materials in each stream and bale.

Connected operations

Integrations link existing and new infrastructure to a live stream of AI analytics — creating a facility of “smart” hardware and software.

Comparing costs: AI monitoring vs. manual sampling

  • Manually sampling 30 PET bales (15 tonnes), would take 375 hours and cost £4,300. Greyparrot Analyzer takes just 6 hours, and costs £17.

Helping customers turn analytics into action

Here's a look at some of the real-world, actionable insights our customers have unlocked.

Filling a £1.6 million value gap

For one UK PRF, Greyparrot Analyzer recorded £1.6m worth of valuable material being lost to landfill each year. This drove targeted investment to capture that value.

Avoiding £47k cost of reprocessing

Analyzer alerts flagged contamination on a European MRF's product line, and staff diagnosed the issue in 12 minutes – instead of 38 hours later at the next spot sample. Fast action protected the batch's purity, saving £47k by avoiding costly reprocessing.

Recovering 93% of value from residue

A UK-based MRF discovered that only 7% of its residue line was genuinely non-recyclable, with the remaining 93% being recoverable. This guided operational changes to capture that value.

Saving £240k with performance data

A US MRF used Analyzer to monitor new sorting machinery – and found that it was causing purity to drop from 93% to 80%. The drop cost them £800 each day – or £240k in a year. Analyzer data enabled the facility’s manager to request crucial recalibration.

Automated, responsive and efficient operations

Deploy our waste intelligence system at your recovery facility to: 

React

Use the insight from Greyparrot Analyzer’s live dashboards to:

  • Track 89+ types of waste with 98% accuracy, showing mass, count, financial value, food-grade, brand, and more.
  • Adapt sorting processes to shifting amounts of target material and contaminants.
  • Monitor multiple streams in one place, and assess the impact of process adjustments remotely to balance throughput and quality.

Report

Historical data makes it possible to identify trends in downtime, material loss and more:

  • Monitor residue belts to diagnose the amount of target material being lost.
  • Monitor pre-baler lines to track and certify bale quality with confidence.
  • Identify and prepare for recurring material trends, from changes in infeed composition up to seasonal spikes.

Connect

Use Greyparrot’s Sync integrations to introduce automation throughout your entire facility:

  • Improve the accuracy of sorting machinery with real-time picking coordinates.
  • Power facility management software with accurate data that reflects real-world operations.
