WeSort.AI GmbH

WeSort.AI GmbH builds intelligent sorting systems that use artificial intelligence, X-ray imaging and camera imaging to recover critical raw materials from waste. Its AI-based sensor module analyses visual data to identify objects and their material composition at a deep level, distinguishing material classes such as paper, plastic and metal and detecting complex mixed fractions. The company is headquartered in Würzburg, Germany, and works with clients across the European recycling industry.

The company's product portfolio includes intelligent sorting systems for granular analysis and sorting of waste objects, as well as Battery.Sort, a dedicated solution for detecting and sorting incorrectly disposed lithium-ion batteries and electrical appliances. The latter protects facilities from fires and machinery damage while making hidden critical raw materials accessible.

Technical work at WeSort.AI spans machine learning, computer vision, sensor fusion, material composition analysis and waste sorting automation. The company's stated purpose is to enable a circular economy and reduce Europe's dependence on imported raw materials; Europe currently spends billions annually importing critical raw materials from overseas. Industry verticals served include recycling, waste management, battery recycling and electrical and electronic waste (WEEE).
