About
Augeas is a European deep-tech startup improving the availability of secondary raw materials by optimizing the first mile of waste management: collection and sorting.
Augeas develops smart, incentivized waste containers deployed in underserved regions, rewarding citizens for correctly collecting and sorting waste. Our system combines IoT, computer vision and a digital platform to deliver high-quality, traceable waste streams to recyclers.
We start with aluminium, a critical and strategic raw material for the EU, with initial deployments in Kosovo and Albania, supplying recyclers with high-purity secondary aluminium from local communities.
By addressing the most complex step of the value chain — the first mile — Augeas improves both the quantity and quality of secondary raw materials, enabling more efficient recycling.
Augeas is aligned with HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-14 and seeks a consortium with an industrial recycling or waste management partner and an EU project-experienced organization.
