Sorted Technologies Ltd is a UK-based company developing AI-powered tools that make waste sorting faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective.
Its product suite addresses both manual and automated sorting.
- SortLight uses computer vision and coloured laser guidance to show human pickers exactly what to remove from the belt, reducing cognitive load and increasing picking speed by around 20%.
- SortBot is a lightweight, retrofittable robotic picker designed for high-volume materials such as paper, cardboard, and soft plastics. With no upfront capital cost and pricing from ~£12/hour, it can reduce manual picking costs by up to 50% from day one.
- Complementing this, Waste Audit Studio enables operators to generate detailed waste audits from simple images, reducing audit time by up to 90% while enabling new data-driven services for customers.
Together, these tools help waste operators improve recovery rates, lower costs, and deliver more efficient recycling operations.
