What is GAINnext™?
GAINnext™ is an AI-powered deep learning sorting add-on for TOMRA’s world-renowned AUTOSORT™ units. It is the first automated solution that can accurately separate food-grade plastics (PET, PP, and HDPE) from non-food-grade plastics to ensure compliance with stringent requirements for food-grade recycled polymers (rPET, rPP, and rHDPE).
Traditional sorting systems struggle to differentiate between food-safe and non-food plastics, making it difficult to produce high-quality, food-grade recyclates. GAINnext™ solves this challenge by:
- Achieving over 95% purity in PET, PP, HDPE without manual sorting
- Automatically detecting and removing non-food-grade plastics
- Running multiple plastic streams on a single sorting line
What’s more GAINnext™ enables plastics recyclers to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and meet regulatory requirements for food-grade recycled plastics.
Advantages of GAINnext™ for food-grade plastic applications
- Achieve food-grade plastic purity at industrial scale
- Increase profitability by running multiple plastic streams efficiently
- Eliminate costly manual sorting and improve operational efficiency
- Produce high-quality rPET, rPP, and rHDPE for circular packaging
- Enhance sustainability by enabling true closed-loop recycling
With GAINnext™, plastic recyclers can now unlock the full potential of food-grade plastic recycling, supporting a more sustainable and profitable circular economy.
