The startup NANDO has announced a €3.3 million funding round to scale its artificial intelligence technology applied to waste management, aiming to transform how materials are sorted and processed across recycling and waste treatment systems.
This investment will allow NANDO to accelerate the development of its solutions, expand into new markets, and strengthen its position within the innovation ecosystem linked to the circular economy, material efficiency, and sustainable waste management.
NANDO leverages computer vision and data intelligence tools to improve accuracy and efficiency in waste sorting, addressing one of the most persistent challenges in current systems: the need for more effective material separation to increase recovery and recycling rates. With this new funding, the company aims to consolidate its technology as a scalable solution applicable to real-world waste management operations across different regions.
Investments like this reflect the growing interest in technologies capable of transforming linear waste models into smarter, more circular systems, highlighting the key role that tech startups can play in modernising the waste and recycling sector.
