Advising Greyparrot on its AI partnership with Bollegraaf

We have advised AI waste analytics pioneer Greyparrot on its strategic partnership with Bollegraaf, the world's largest builder of recycling plants, to make thousands of recycling plants more efficient in response to the growing waste crisis.

The companies will use advanced AI technology to accelerate the digitisation of the waste sector and collaborate on the development of new “smart” plants and innovative products.

Greyparrot's mission is to use AI to significantly improve recycling efficiency and decrease the environmental impact of waste. It uses computer vision technology to analyse and sort waste into the right categories at waste facilities. It also provides waste analytics that can be used by waste managers, producers and regulators. We previously advised the company on its £8.9m Series A funding round led by Regeneration VC.

Commenting on the strategic partnership, corporate partner Josef Fuss said: "AI is continuing to disrupt major industries and Greyparrot is leading the way in using AI to help tackle the complex problem of waste management in a sustainable way. It's always great to work with Mikela, Ambarish and the Greyparrot team and to support the company as it continues its revolutionary journey. We wish the company all the success with this new partnership."

Mikela Druckman, CEO of Greyparrot, added: "We're thrilled to partner with Bollegraaf to tackle the growing waste crisis, paving the way for the waste industry's largest AI rollout to improve global recycling rates. Josef and his team played a crucial role in facilitating this strategic partnership, leveraging their deep understanding of our business to ensure a smooth transaction. I look forward to working with them again in the future.”

Led by Josef Fuss, Greyparrot was supported by Loye Oyedotun, Xuyang Zhu and Katie Horbury.
