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.
