Wastetide Uses AI to Optimize IT Waste Value and Carbon Footprint
Wastetide employs a vision-language model to assess the value and carbon savings of recycling IT waste instead of destruction. The startup has successfully onboarded several clients and competes against brokers who do not offer automated AI analysis, relying instead on manual processes. Wastetide's comprehensive approach addresses gaps in traditional waste management services. The company has expanded into markets outside France, including Canada, Brazil, Germany, the United States, and is targeting the UK, with a focus on the significant growth of data center construction in the U.S.
Theia Market Signal Identification - AI Assisted
Wastetide utilizes a vision-language model to calculate the value and carbon footprint saved through IT waste recycling rather than destruction. The startup has attracted several clients with its application.
Compared to competitors, brokers lack automated AI analysis and operate with manual processes. Some specialized startups in computer vision are emerging but do not cover all aspects, such as the integration of photos with administrative documents.
Traditional waste management providers also lack source valuation diagnostics. Wastetide has entered several markets outside France, including Canada, Brazil, Germany, the United States, and is soon targeting the UK, with particular focus on the U.S. market where 75% of new data center construction is concentrated.
