Case Study: Omrin achieves higher waste sorting yield with Greyparrot Analyzer

Omrin cuts manual analysis to 1 sample a week with Greyparrot

Omrin, a Dutch waste management company, sought to increase material recovery yield at its sorting facility but was hindered by reliance on infrequent manual waste sampling. This process provided only sporadic snapshots of performance, preventing the team from reacting in real-time to changes in waste composition. To achieve greater process control, Omrin partnered with vendor Greyparrot and deployed its Analyzer system.

The Greyparrot Analyzer provided Omrin with 24/7 live data on its material streams, replacing most manual sampling. This enabled the process team to instantly flag purity changes, diagnose root causes, and adjust machinery like airjets and optical sorters within minutes. As a result, Omrin reduced manual analysis from three times a week to just once, achieving more cost-effective operations and maximized yields. The data is also being used to plan for future automation and guide major infrastructure investments.
