Why the Circular Economy Can't Scale Without Better Waste Sorting
The circular economy is often framed as a collection problem: get more material into the right bins, and recovery rates will follow. The data tells a different story. Recovery is falling even as more attention and investment go into sustainability, and the reason comes down to what happens after material reaches a facility, not before. If a sorting system cannot correctly identify what is moving through it, valuable material gets treated the same as waste, no matter how well it was collected.

SUEZ Pilot: Litechs first international pilot is now live!
SUEZ is a French industrial giant with facilities in 40 countries across Europe, Africa, and Asia, handling tens of millions of tonnes of waste every year. Litech's detection technology is now installed on a dedicated test line at one of SUEZ's sorting facilities, where it is being validated in a real operating environment.

"AI" Doesn't Automatically Mean Camera-Based Technology
In waste and recycling tech, "AI" usually gets associated with camera-based sorting. That's a fair assumption, most of the AI applications in this industry are built around visual recognition, cameras scanning objects on a belt and sorting them by what they look like. But that's not what Litech does.
Let’s work together to close the loop
Recover more, reduce fire risk, and boost your sorting rate — with sensors under your existing conveyor belt.
