About Sortrace

Sortrace combines cameras on collection trucks with an AI monitoring platform for municipalities and recycling operators. The service analyzes pickups for contamination and incorrect sorting, then presents dashboards, trends and reports to help teams target interventions. The Stockholm-based company reports EU-hosted cloud processing, and investor Almi confirms existing municipal and recycling-sector customers. Detailed hosting providers, processing countries and subprocessor disclosures were not found in the public materials reviewed.

Features

  • Collect a visual record of waste pickups using truck-mounted cameras.
  • Detect contamination and incorrectly sorted material with computer vision.
  • Review sorting insights at bin and route level.
  • Identify hotspots and follow trends through dashboards and reports.
  • Use collection evidence to target feedback and operational improvements.
  • Generate documentation and compliance reports from monitoring data.

Questions & Answers

2 questions

Is Sortrace only a hardware supplier?

No. Cameras capture pickup data, while a cloud analytics platform analyzes material and presents dashboards and reports. Buyers should assess the combined hardware and software deployment with Sortrace.

What is known about data residency?

The official product page states that pickup data is encrypted and processed in an EU-hosted cloud. The reviewed public pages do not identify the cloud provider, specific country or a detailed subprocessor list; this is a vendor statement rather than an independent audit.
