    Description

    A little bit about us

    At Recycleye, we're changing recycling. We've developed ground-breaking AI that works with automated sorting tech like robots and optical sorters to make waste sorting more profitable. Because the truth is, if you can't afford to sort it, you can't recycle it, so we're changing that We were founded in 2019, and have been growing rapidly ever since, with installations of our technology at leading waste management companies across Europe and the US.

    We partner with our clients to help them produce higher quality outputs, transforming the economics of waste sorting and recycling – it's all about our vision to turn the world's waste into resource.
