Wastetide, a French startup, has developed AI software that helps factories to sort waste, cutting costs and emissions.
“Waste management generates more than twice the CO₂ than air transportation,” says CEO Nicolas Brien, who co-founded the company in 2023 with CTO Côme Ozanne. “We want to turn this liability into revenue.”.
“If you go to any factory in the U.S. or the EU about 3% of the cost structure is related to waste management,” says Brien. “Up to 30% of the cost could be avoided. Based on our customer research we believe factories could get back one percent of their bottom line.”
