The challenge
Recycling and resale streams lose value when materials like plastics, textiles and flooring can’t be accurately identified at speed. Traditional methods like FTIR lab testing require specialist training and slow down sorting and quality control.
The solution
Matoha has developed handheld, desktop and bench devices using infrared sensors and AI algorithms to identify materials in under a second, needing no PhD or sample prep. The devices have been deployed in 1,000+ devices across 60+ countries, making over 24 million measurements.
“What we found particularly helpful is the opportunity for the right team member to attend the most relevant workshop. For instance, our Head of Assembly attended the Manufacturing Strategy workshop, which is a great opportunity for us to upskill beyond the founders.”
– Hans Chan, Co-Founder and CTO
