Our Co-Founder & CTO Alexander (Sascha) Friemann Dmitriev was featured in an in-depth interview with The MacDiarmid Institute – a network of leading researchers and the best materials scientists in New Zealand.
In the interview, Sascha discusses how:
- Different types of plastics have varying chemical properties, making mixed recycling extremely difficult.
- High-speed, high-accuracy sorting is essential. NeoSort’s tech can identify materials with near 100% accuracy at speeds of 25 tons per hour.
- Black plastics are particularly challenging because they absorb light, but our nanosensors solve this by enhancing light interaction.
- Traditional spectroscopy is too slow for industrial sorting, so we reinvented it with millions of scans per second, powered by advanced AI.
- Clean, sorted materials have real market value. Sorting facilities can sell directly to producers, turning waste into wealth.
