Research & Development

Ainir continuously advances our patented technology across three core domains: mechanical processing, intelligent recognition, and digital traceability.
We refine our mechanical systems to increase precision, throughput, and reliability. In parallel, we advance object recognition and AI-driven spectral analysis to improve how materials are identified and understood — even in complex and mixed waste streams. At the same time, we develop our digital tracking platform to strengthen traceability, data integrity, and system integration across the value chain.
Together, these capabilities form an integrated system — where physical processing, intelligent recognition, and data are continuously refined to improve how materials are recovered, understood, and reintroduced into new production.

Data, Traceability & Documentation

Ainir is developing a digital platform designed to provide end-to-end traceability of plastic materials—from collection at the hospital to sorting, processing and future use in new production.

Throughout the process, each material stream is identified, classified and documented using AI-based object recognition, spectral material analysis and real-time data capture. Information about product category, polymer type, material volume, sorting results and recovery rate is connected to a continuous digital record.

This creates a verifiable chain of custody showing where the material originated, how it was identified and processed, and where it was delivered for further recycling or production.

The platform is designed to provide hospitals, recyclers, manufacturers and other stakeholders with reliable documentation covering:

  • Material origin and collection point
  • Product category and polymer composition
  • Collected and processed volumes
  • Sorting accuracy and material purity
  • Recovery rates and rejected fractions
  • Processing history and material destination
  • Estimated carbon and environmental impact

Traceability is essential for maintaining material quality, demonstrating regulatory compliance and building confidence in recycled materials—particularly in demanding and highly regulated applications.

By combining physical material recovery with digital documentation, Ainir enables circular performance to be measured, verified and reported. The result is not only high-quality recycled material, but also the transparency and evidence required to document its complete journey from waste to new resource.

This digital foundation will also support the future development of Digital Product Passports and documented end-to-end circularity.
