Since 2002
PICVISA is a global manufacturer of optical sorting, robotics and flow analysis technology, helping recycling and waste management plants close the loop on materials around the world.
For more than 20 years, PICVISA has designed and manufactured optical sorting systems, robotic sorters and flow analyzers that help recycling and waste treatment plants recover more material, more accurately, with less manual labor.
From our headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, we work with recycling facilities, MRFs and industrial plants across the globe to build sorting lines tailored to glass, plastic, metal, textile and municipal solid waste streams.
To accelerate the transition to a circular economy by providing the technology that makes high-purity material recovery possible at scale.
We exist to give materials a second life, reducing the volume of waste sent to landfill and the demand for virgin raw materials.
A world where every recyclable material is identified, sorted and returned to the production cycle — nothing valuable wasted.
Innovation, reliability and sustainability guide every machine we design, every line we install and every client relationship we build.
PICVISA's history from 2002 — two decades of sorting innovation, growing from a Catalan engineering workshop into a global supplier of recycling technology.
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. As a B Corp–certified company, PICVISA meets the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Our technology directly supports the circular economy, helping our clients recover more material, reduce contamination and lower the environmental footprint of waste management operations worldwide.
PICVISA equipment operates in recycling and waste management plants across Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania — supported by a team that understands local regulations, materials and market needs.
Headquartered in Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona, with manufacturing and testing facilities in Calaf, PICVISA combines local engineering expertise with a global service network.
