UpCircle is a Zurich-based AI company enabling real-time material quality control for recovered paper and recycled plastics. Our technology makes quality, contaminants, and supply deviations measurable across the entire value chain — objectively, in compliance with industry standards, and without manual sampling.
By turning physical waste streams into digital decision intelligence, we increase the efficiency of recycling operations and enable the high-value use of secondary raw materials. By combining industrial sensor technology with our scalable AI platform, UpCircle is setting new standards for the circular economy.

- Description
-
We provide a scalable AI platform for digital quality and process control in recycling. It captures, analyzes, and structures material flows in real time, making material quality, contaminants, and deviations objectively measurable across the entire value chain.
The platform is enabled by industrial hardware components: stationary and mobile sensor systems equipped with cameras capture material data directly on site. These data are seamlessly integrated into the cloud platform, where they are analyzed and visualized using AI modules and made available through interfaces.
In this way, UpCircle transforms waste and recycling streams into digital decision-making foundations, increases process reliability, reduces costs, and enables the high-quality use of secondary raw materials.
