PICVISA Revolutionizes Glass Recycling with Artificial Intelligence in ECOGLASS

The new ECOGLASS equipment from PICVISA incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI), enhancing glass sorting and optimizing the recycling process.

Barcelona, March 4, 2025 – PICVISA, a leading company in optical sorting solutions for recycling and waste management, introduces a groundbreaking enhancement to its ECOGLASS system by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technology enables more precise separation of glass waste, increasing the recovery of recyclable material and minimizing waste.

The Challenge of Glass Recycling: An Opportunity for AI

Glass is 100% recyclable and can be reused indefinitely without losing quality. However, only 78% of glass packaging is recycled in Europe, according to the European Container Glass Federation (FEVE). This means that millions of tons end up in landfills or are wasted in sorting processes each year.

The challenge lies in separating impurities such as ceramics, porcelain, or plastics, as well as identifying dark-colored glass, which is often excluded from the recycling stream. With the incorporation of AI in ECOGLASS, recovery rates can be increased, and the quality of recycled glass can be improved, minimizing the amount of discarded material.

ECOGLASS: Artificial Intelligence for More Efficient Recycling

ECOGLASS is PICVISA’s optical sorting system specifically developed for glass treatment in recycling plants. Now, with AI integration, the system enhances its precision and efficiency, allowing the recovery of a larger volume of recyclable material with less operational effort.

The key advantages of the new ECOGLASS version include:
