PICVISA, a Spanish leader in artificial vision, robotics, and AI for recycling, will participate in ECOMONDO 2025, the leading trade fair for the circular economy. From November 5 to 8, the company will present its latest innovations at stand A3 506. Visitors will see how AI improves efficiency and precision in sorting and recovery processes worldwide.
Glass Recycling: Detecting Dark and Labeled Glass
In Brazil, PICVISA launches a new project featuring its ECOGLASS system. This AI technology detects dark or labeled glass that is hard to identify. As a result, recovery rates increase, material purity improves, and product losses decrease. This advancement strengthens PICVISA’s global leadership in glass recycling.
Textile Recycling: Advanced Sorting Across Europe
In textiles, PICVISA continues to automate post-consumer waste sorting. The first automatic plant operates in Lipor, Portugal, with new facilities in Italy, France, and Spain. ECOSORT TEXTILE uses hyperspectral imaging and AI to differentiate knitted and woven fabrics, as well as fiber blends. Moreover, robotized feeding automates garment placement on conveyor belts. Therefore, the process becomes fully automated and more efficient from input to final separation.
Plastics Recycling: ECOFLAKE Lines and Black-Plastic Detection
PICVISA expands plastics recycling with new ECOFLAKE lines in Spain and the United States. These lines process unique materials, including shoe soles and shredded WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment). In addition, PICVISA is launching AI software for black-plastic detection. Consequently, recycling plants can classify materials that were previously invisible to conventional sensors.
Metal Recycling: Eldan Sorting Optical Line
For Eldan Recycling, PICVISA developed the Eldan Sorting optical classification line. The system includes SPS (Small Purpose Sorter) and MPS (Multiple Purpose Sorter). Both systems handle cables, e-waste, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel. As a result, plants gain higher precision, faster sorting, and improved material recovery. Visitors can see Eldan Sorting solutions at PICVISA’s stand and Eldan Recycling’s adjacent stand.
Driving an Intelligent Circular Economy
Through these innovations, PICVISA strengthens its commitment to the circular economy. Its solutions improve traceability, material purity, and energy efficiency. Moreover, they turn waste into valuable resources. At ECOMONDO 2025, attendees will explore flagship solutions — ECOGLASS, ECOPACK, ECOCLIP, ECOSORT TEXTILE, and ECOFLAKE — and learn how AI, robotics, and computer vision shape the future of smart recycling.
