AI in plastics sorting: Innovations at K 2025

What topic or innovation will you be bringing to K 2025 – and why is it relevant to the industry?

Dieing: Our focus at K 2025 will be on new solutions for intelligent material detection and sorting – based on AI-supported detection algorithms and multi-sensor technology. With this technology, we enable even more precise separation of plastics according to polymer types, colors, and parameters such as material moisture and temperature—a decisive lever for increasing recyclate quality and enabling the use of recycled material in demanding applications. We are also introducing our new data platform “Core.” It enables us to let machines learn decentrally and keep all systems up to date worldwide. Prepare to be amazed! At Sesotec, the focus is not only on our products—we consistently align our actions with the needs of our customers. Qualität, Nachhaltigkeit und Effizienz im Recycling vereinen

The plastics and rubber industry of the future will be circular in its organization, data-driven in its management, and a key driver of sustainable materials management.

Combining quality, sustainability, and efficiency in recycling

What would you like to discuss with visitors at K 2025 – what is particularly important to you?

Dieing: We want to talk to visitors about specific challenges in plastics recycling – such as the tension between material quality, sustainability goals, and economic efficiency. We are particularly interested in the question of how we can work together to enable a true circular economy – not only technologically, but also through partnership-based cooperation along the entire value chain.

Enabling the circular economy together

What do you expect from your participation in K 2025 – and what are you personally most looking forward to?

Dieing: We expect intensive exchanges with customers, partners, and interested parties who want to work with us to develop solutions for a sustainable plastics industry. Personally, we are looking forward to new ideas, international contacts – and to demonstrating our technologies live in action and talking to users about concrete improvements in their processes. Our focus is not only on the ecological perspective, but also on the economic perspective – because sustainable solutions must also pay off for our customers in terms of efficiency and profitability.
