Luther Lab
A look at the technology and tools we're developing next, to make recycling in Uganda faster, more accurate, and easier to scale.
Sorting plastic well, by hand, at speed, is one of the hardest parts of what we do. The ideas on this page are projects in active development, not features available on the site today. We're sharing them so our customers and partners can see where Luther Plastics is headed next.
In Development
Concept
Luther Sort
An AI-assisted sorting concept we're developing to help separate waste faster and more accurately, starting at the point of collection.
- Separating organic waste from plastics
- Sorting plastics by type, HDPE, PET, PP and PVC
- A camera feature to identify plastic types by photo, for example, pointing it at a bottle to see that the cap is one type of plastic and the body another
This is a concept in development, not a working feature on the site today. No timeline, pricing or technical specifications are confirmed yet.
