SUEZ × LITECH / LIVE PILOT
Litechs international pilot is now live with Suez.
Litechs international pilot is now live with Suez.
SUEZ is a French industrial giant with facilities in 40 countries across Europe, Africa, and Asia, handling tens of millions of tonnes of waste each year.
Litech’s detection technology is installed on a dedicated test line at a SUEZ sorting facility, where it is being validated in a real operating environment. Lithium-ion batteries are the leading cause of fires at waste and recycling facilities worldwide, often slipping through undetected until it's too late. Litech's battery detection technology, now live in this SUEZ pilot, is built to catch that risk before it reaches the sorting line, protecting equipment, staff, and operations.

PILOT FOCUS
Battery detection
WHAT THE PROJECT COVERS
Catch the risk before it reaches the crusher.
Catch the risk before it reaches the crusher.
Lithium batteries and gas canisters can ignite when damaged in general waste handling. This pilot tests the detection layer that helps teams remove them safely, earlier in the process.
MIS TECHNOLOGY
Hidden objects. No cameras. No radiation.
Magnetic Inductive Spectroscopy identifies batteries hazardous objects even when they are inside bags or mixed packaging. The sensor gives operators time to intervene before an object is crushed.
REAL OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
A live line, a dedicated test protocol.
The pilot lets Litech and SUEZ validate performance on an active sorting line, from installation through the test protocol.
THE FRENCH CONTEXT
A pivotal time for circularity.
France is progressing toward a 65% recycling target. As material recovery facilities process more material, early and reliable hazard detection can help make the transition safer for people, equipment, and the wider waste system.

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.
Litech Receives NOK 14.4 Million in Funding to Advance Waste Safety Technology
Battery fires and hazardous waste are becoming one of the biggest safety challenges for waste and recycling facilities worldwide. To help solve this growing problem, Litech has received NOK 14.4 million in funding to further develop its AI-powered waste detection technology.
