GlassWorks AI

Deal Overview

GlassWorks AI builds advanced optical sorting systems that separate mixed cullet (waste glass) by color, contamination level, and glass type with 99.5% accuracy. Contamination is the biggest barrier to closed-loop glass recycling—a single ceramic fragment can ruin an entire batch. Their hyperspectral imaging system detects contaminants invisible to conventional sorters, enabling furnace-ready cullet from mixed-color waste streams. Currently deployed at 8 glass recycling facilities across the US and UK.
