In brief
- What materials can Sorted detect?
- Sorted can identify all common materials found in household and commercial recycling bins, including cardboard, paper, plastics (PET, HDPE, LDPE), aluminium, glass, fibre, other recyclable materials, and contaminants. The company is also working with construction waste and can explore particular use cases upon request.
- Do I have to pay for Sorted updates?
- No, all software updates and new features are complimentary. Sorted invests heavily in research and development and provides these benefits to customers at no additional cost.
- Is Sorted's device compatible with my facility?
- The device is compatible with most facilities that have at least 1.4m of clearance above the conveyor belt. Sorted recommends requesting a demo so their team can visit your site to confirm suitability and provide tailored installation suggestions.
- What are your contract terms?
- Sorted requires only a 3-month minimum initial commitment. After that, you pay monthly on a rolling contract that can be cancelled anytime with no long-term lock-in.
- Do I need internet connection for your system?
- If you already have internet connection, great. Otherwise, Sorted provides its own 4G network connection, so as long as you have coverage in your facility, they take care of the connectivity.
