The project leverages machine learning and computer vision technology, coupled with efficient decontamination of food-grade PP from postconsumer waste.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After 18 months of research, Project OMNI led to an alternative to digital and physical marking solutions, which require systemwide packaging changes. In a demonstration unit, Recycleye built and trained an AI model based on waste collected from 5 locations across France supplied and characterized by Valorplast. The AI and robotic sorting achieved a successful pick rate of 50% of the food-grade material, with greater than 95% purity. This sorting activity produced material used for further decontamination in a semi-industrial pilot based on off-the-shelf mechanical recycling technologies. TotalEnergies then produced odorless, clean rPP suitable for high-end packaging applications.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe are extremely excited to see this successful application of our robust AI-powered sorting technology at a semi-industrial scale. This application opens the possibility of creating new markets for recycled plastics materials, ultimately changing the economics of recycling,\u201d says Victor Dewulf, CEO at Recycleye.<br \/>\nAccording to TotalEnergies, the developed process has demonstrated the efficient decontamination of food-grade PP waste sorted by AI and computer vision, and opens new opportunities for circularity of polypropylene packaging.<br \/>\n\u201cThis project not only demonstrates how cutting-edge technology can improve material circularity but also paves the way for a wider range of accessible applications for recycled polymers to serve our customers. It provides a concrete response to the challenge of managing end-of-life plastics, and fully supports our ambition of reaching 1 million tons of circular polymers,\u201d says Nathalie Brunelle, senior vice president, polymers at TotalEnergies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>ptonline<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranpolymer\/Baspar Project OMNI, a collaborative research program directed by\u00a0Recycleye,\u00a0Valorplast\u00a0and\u00a0TotalEnergies, is developing a solution for mechanically recycling polypropylene (PP) food packaging back into food-contact applications.
