Availability of MRF data is limited, yet it is essential for developing the DMR model. The required datasets include MRF size and type, material flows, and contamination and process losses. Sortflow uniquely captures live process data via AI vision systems and NIR/optical sorters, enabling the creation of mass balance models to simulate changes and forecast outcomes. The anonymised data generated is critical to underpinning the DMR model.
