The problem

India's biomedical waste
system runs on estimates

600,000 fraudulent EPR certificates were identified in 2023 alone. Manual sorting is error-prone, hazardous, and produces no verifiable data trail.

01

No ground truth

Waste composition is reported on estimates and paper certificates with no sensor-verified backing — making EPR compliance unenforceable and unreliable.

02

Manual hazard exposure

Workers sort sharps, IV tubes, and contaminated plastics by hand. Needlestick injuries, pathogen exposure, and burnout are endemic to the sector.

03

Mixed stream = lost value

Unsorted biomedical waste cannot be recycled or sold as graded material. The economic value of the plastic in the waste stream is entirely lost.

Our solution

Automated sorting.
Verified data. Real value.

Epixo deploys sensor-driven sorting systems at biomedical waste processing facilities — eliminating manual contact and generating the data infrastructure the sector needs.

👁

Computer vision classification

YOLOv8-powered real-time identification of syringes, IV tubes, gloves, vials, saline bottles — sorted by type and grade without human contact.

Magnetic needle isolation

NdFeB permanent magnetic drum separator isolates steel sharps into sealed containers — zero manual needle handling at the facility.

📊

Sensor-backed data capture

Every sort session generates timestamped, weighed, camera-verified records — the ground truth that EPR markets are missing.

🔒

PWM 2026 ready

Data architecture aligned with India's Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules 2026 — supporting EPR credit verification and compliance reporting.

ReflexEye

The physical automated sorting system. Deployed at biomedical waste processing facilities, it handles classification, separation, and grading of the full waste stream — continuously, without manual intervention.

Reflexi

The data platform. Captures, structures, and stores verified waste stream composition data across facilities — the foundation of Epixo's data moat and the basis for EPR provenance verification.

Process

How ReflexEye works

01

Intake & conveyor feed

Mixed biomedical waste enters the conveyor system from facility bins — no pre-sorting required from facility staff.

02

Vision classification

The IMX500 AI camera identifies and classifies each item in real-time — type, material, and grade — at line speed.

03

Mechanical separation

Items are routed to graded output streams. Needles are magnetically isolated. Plastics are split by type and colour.

04

Data logged & verified

Reflexi records each session — weight, composition, timestamp — creating a sensor-backed audit trail for every batch.

Impact

Numbers that matter

300+
kg processed per day

Consistent daily throughput at our first facility — without any manual sorting of sharps, IV tubes, or saline bottles.

0
needlestick incidents

Magnetic drum separation has fully eliminated worker contact with steel sharps at the facility.

600K
fraudulent EPR certs in 2023

The market Epixo's verified data layer is designed to fix — ground truth replacing paper-based estimates.
