We envision a future in which plastics can be re-used in high quality applications again and again, closing the loop definitively. We believe that by providing stakeholders with in depth information on material quality and composition, the recycling industry can become more data driven and thereby more successful at producing high quality products from recycled plastic waste.
Our mission is to solve societal and environmental problems through innovation at an international scale, applying artificial intelligence on sensor data.
Main Challenges:
Recycling of plastic waste into high quality products, is facing major constraints caused by the plurality of materials used in plastic products. Even after plastic waste has been separated, a significant percentage of unknown contaminants remains in the material, which makes reuse in high quality products difficult, due to the negative effects that contaminants have.

Recycling of plastic waste into high quality products, is facing major constraints caused by the plurality of materials used in plastic products. Even after plastic waste has been separated, a significant percentage of unknown contaminants remains in the material, which makes reuse in high quality products difficult, due to the negative effects that contaminants have.
Polytential decided to provide a solution by creating a Virtual Chemist. The Virtual Chemist allows recyclers to gain insight into the type and degree of contamination. Because recyclers now know which pollutants are present in their material, they can efficiently mitigate for the negative effects of these contaminants.
The Virtual Chemist is a smart quality analysis tool, which combines state of the art sensing technology with artificial intelligence, to create fast and reliable analysis. It provides lab quality analysis, with bulk throughputs, thereby making it useful for all types of recyclers.
