Identinano is a spin-off from the Department of Physics, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
nanoAI technology is based on more than 20 years of research in nanophotonics and nano sensing: https://www.gu.se/en/research/nanophotonics-and-nano-optics
Our co-founder, Chairman of the Board and CEO Alexander Friemann Dmitriev was featured in an in-depth interview with the MacDiarmid Institute - a network of leading material scientists in New Zealand.
In the interview he discusses how:
- Different types of plastics have varying chemical properties, making mixed recycling extremely difficult.
- High-speed / high-accuracy sorting is essential. Identinano / NeoSort's tech can identify materials with 99.5% accuracy at speeds of several tons per hour.
- Black plastics are particularly challenging because they absorb light, but nanoAI technology solves this by dramatically enhancing light-matter interaction.
- Traditional spectroscopy is too slow for industry-scale sorting, so Identinano and NeoSort reinvented it with millions of scans per second, powered by advanced AI.
- Clean, sorted materials have real market value. Sorting facilities can sell directly to producers, turning waste in wealth.
