IFAT 2026
Where Business Meets Sustainability
Climate protection, circular economy, and digitalization – three megatrends we at Sesotec transform into tangible solutions.
Join us at IFAT 2026 to discover the next level of resource recovery: Experience at our booth how intelligent sensors and AI-powered sorting systems turn waste streams into high-purity recyclables. See how efficiency and sustainability in recycling processes are already a reality today.
If ever there was a time in history when we could change our global economy, it's right now.
Our Highlights at IFAT 2026
NEXT LEVEL AI
SUSTAiN Technologies
Where high-tech sensors fall short, our AI solutions empower you to reliably detect and differentiate nearly any material.
NEW
CARBON BLACK: Differentiating Black Plastics
Introducing the new VARISORT+ CARBON BLACK: Now you can reliably detect and sort black plastics containing carbon particles by material type.
Material Sorting with Artificial Intelligence
SUSTAiN Technologies
NIR-Ai
For precise differentiation, the point clouds defined by the near-infrared sensor's spectral analysis must be distinctly separated. When significant overlaps, as shown in the image on the left, occur, the risk of misidentification increases. Valuable resources intended for recycling are lost. A typical challenge for NIR sensors: Monolayer and Multilayer PET.
OBJECT-Ai
Harnessing Artificial Intelligence, our Color Sensor assigns specific attributes to each object through comprehensive color and shape analysis. This ensures precise classification and differentiation of quality materials from defects based on shape, color, and texture (bounding boxes).
Revolutionary Solution for Black Plastics
CARBON BLACK: Distinguishing Black Plastics
Black plastics with carbon particles have traditionally been "invisible" to standard NIR sorting, posing a challenge in the recycling process. Meanwhile, the demand for black recyclates in new plastic products is steadily increasing, driven by new EU regulations. This makes the reliable detection of black plastics in recycling more crucial than ever, calling for innovative solutions.
Introducing our new VARISORT+ CARBON BLACK with integrated MIR sensor technology, which accurately identifies and sorts carbon-black-containing polymers. This results in high-quality black recyclates with consistent quality—leading to higher yields, improved cost-efficiency, and a sustainable circular economy.

Depending on your sorting task and requirements, VARISORT+ UNITY is available as a coordinated complete solution with an ejection housing and conveyor belt, or as a separate sensor module, VARISORT+ FLEX, for existing sorting lines. The VARISORT+ FLEX measurement bridge is ideal for integration into existing systems as a renewal or upgrade, and for providers of complete solutions in the recycling sector.
The SPEKTRUM+ glass sorting system features advanced C-C sensor technology, enhancing its ability to differentiate between black or dark glass and KSP (ceramics/stones/porcelain). Traditional shard inspection with standard backlighting has been revolutionized with a newly developed specialized lighting and sensor system (new C-C sensor). This innovation ensures that opaque or extremely dark glass is no longer mistakenly sorted out with contaminants like ceramics, stones, or porcelain. This breakthrough significantly boosts glass recovery, allowing valuable dark shards, known for their material density, to remain in the recycling loop and be reused in new product manufacturing.
