Dutch startup develops AI sorting system to recover batteries from household waste

Automated battery sorting reaches 96% purity

At recycling facilities, these batteries pass through several sorting stages before ending up in the ferrous metal fraction alongside other materials. Their small size, irregular shape, and mixed composition make reliable separation difficult. As a result, batteries contaminate metal streams, reduce material value, and increase fire risks during downstream processing. Dutch startup inSystem.io has developed a new AI-based sorting unit designed t…

Dutch startup develops AI sorting system to recover batteries from household waste

A Dutch recycling automation startup says it has developed a new AI-powered sorting system capable of removing discarded batteries from municipal waste streams at industrial scale – addressing a problem that recycling facilities have struggled with for decades. The company, inSystem.io, says its new “Gravity Sorter” can remove up to 50 batteries per second from […]
