PLAST 2026 has confirmed its status as a leading international event for the plastics and recycling industry, bringing together companies, professionals, and innovators from around the world.
For Deltech Europe, this was a significant opportunity to present its vision of optical sorting: technologies designed to help recycling facilities meet the challenges of a market increasingly focused on the quality of recovered material, process efficiency, and sustainability.
Technologies designed for the needs of modern recycling
During the event, we demonstrated how the integration of Artificial Intelligence, advanced vision systems, and multispectral sensors can significantly improve the performance of sorting processes.
Deltech Europe’s solutions are developed to accurately recognize:
- Different polymers
- Colors and shades
- Contaminants
- Surface defects
- Foreign bodies
- Materials difficult to distinguish with traditional technologies
The goal is to offer recyclers reliable tools to increase the purity of sorted material, reduce waste, and improve production efficiency.
Beyond the machine: a technology partner
Every facility has different characteristics and requirements. For this reason, Deltech Europe develops solutions based on an analysis of the client’s production process, configuring them to meet specific operational needs.
The approach goes beyond merely supplying technology; it encompasses technical expertise, consultancy, and support to ensure optimal performance throughout the selection process.
The value of a face-to-face meeting
PLAST 2026 provided a valuable opportunity to engage with customers, partners, and industry professionals.
The many conversations held during the event confirmed a growing focus on increasingly intelligent, flexible, and automated sorting systems capable of adapting to the new demands of plastic recycling.
A look at the future
Innovation continues to drive Deltech Europe’s development.
We will continue to invest in the research and development of increasingly advanced optical sorting technologies, helping to make plastic recycling more efficient, sustainable, and quality-oriented.
