Vow ASA has through its subsidiary ETIA, been awarded an order to provide a robotic sorting system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to the French leader in recycling, PAPREC and Bianna Recycling. The order is valued at EUR 0.3 million.

“This important achievement by our ETIA team is a breakthrough for our landbased robotic technology for waste sorting, and an important move towards building a circular economy for valorisation of waste in France,” says Henrik Badin, CEO VOW ASA.

Bianna Recycling is the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for Paprec’s recycling plant La Courneuve in the North of France. The AI powered robot will be sorting demolition material, mainly wood and concrete.

The unit named Ascodero Intelligent Robotic Sorting System (AIRSS), will detect and sort 1000 units/hr of wood and concrete waste in a stream of 1400 kg/h of various material.

The market for waste sorting of construction and demolition material in France is large. In 2020, a total of 42 million tonnes of building waste was collected in 2020.

Paprec, plays an essential role in total waste management throughout France and Switzerland, with over 16 million tonnes collected and 280 sites.
