Two trillion tons of waste
are produced each year,
only of which 8% is recycled,
and Recycleye is solving that problem.
Our first product Recycleye Vision
is bringing total transparency
to the waste management industry
by detecting every single item
on conveyor belts,
in material, object,
and even brand level.
Recycleye Robotics is a picking system
that's enabling the
automated sorting of waste.
Having a very robust platform is key
to our successful growth.
And so most of our effort today
has been in building this operating system
for the waste management industry.
And we've been supported
by the best builders of operating systems,
Microsoft of course.
Generally, governments
have not been interested
in waste management.
Citizens have often not been interested
in dealing with their waste.
We install cameras in waste facilities
and our cameras can detect
the waste on conveyor belts.
And this creates millions
of images of waste,
millions of data points that
we can use to train our models,
to teach artificial intelligence
what a can looks like.
All of these images we store on Azure,
which is great for us
because Azure is scalable.
So it means that even though our data sets
are getting bigger and bigger
Azure scales to get as
big as our data sets are.
Azure is secure.
And this is a really
important point for us
because if our data is secure,
then our models are secure.
We process around 30 images
on the device per second
And that data then gets transported
up to the Azure cloud,
which allows us to provide higher level
and actionable insights to the client.
So we can provide data,
such as trend analysis,
material purity, and plant downtime logs
through the Power BI platform
that really provide a drill
down metrics to the clients
so that they can see what's
going on in their plant.
Current waste facilities
have technologies available to them
that are extremely expensive.
A new infrared sensor costs around £50,000
whereas the cameras that Recycleye uses
are the same ones that you
can find in your mobile phone.
We will keep innovating.
As our planet's resources
are naturally depleting,
we have to make sure the resources we make
are put back into the economy.
Microsoft's AI has been critical
to realising our vision.
Not only that,
it's the amazing support
we've been able to get
from our partnership with Microsoft.
