PELLTINEL: Intelligent Microplastics Detection

PELLTINEL is a smart digital solution that detects, measures and monitors microplastics across the plastic value chain, helping companies reduce their environmental impact and comply with current European regulations.

Did you know that plastic pellets are the raw material for numerous plastic products? Without proper control, they can escape during manufacturing, handling and transportation, contaminating ecosystems, seas and coastlines. Ingestion by wildlife, the release of harmful chemicals and environmental accumulation make their management a priority for all companies along the plastic value chain.

PELLTINEL is a patented technological product based on computer vision, machine learning and real-time remote monitoring, designed to detect, measure and control microplastics in industrial environments. Its purpose is to prevent microplastic loss, protect coastlines and industrial infrastructure and provide precise, traceable data for environmental decision-making.

The system includes several specialised components:

  • CABID – Inspection device for manholes that identifies microplastics on the surface of liquids.

  • MOID – Smart mobile application for rapid inspections almost anywhere.

  • FCID – Fixed high-resolution cameras for large areas such as loading zones, parking lots or vehicles.

  • GIS – Geographic Information System that generates heat maps, reports and predictions based on collected data.

This solution is aimed at all actors in the plastic value chain: from pellet producers and processors to storage operators and recyclers. Each stage presents an opportunity to reduce contamination through better practices and innovative technologies.

PELLTINEL also supports alignment with Operation Clean Sweep®, the global initiative to reduce pellet loss into the environment, helping companies implement sustainable measures and comply with international standards for responsible marine environmental management.

In short, PELLTINEL is a prevention and sustainability tool, designed to protect ecosystems and oceans, provide precision, agility and reliability in environmental decision-making and turn technological innovation into real, tangible impact.
