Results are AI estimates from photographs and do not replace a manual inspection.

Every contaminated bale eats into your margin.

Surprise contamination

You only discover the real mix after the bale is open — and the truck is gone.

Yield loss

Extra film, wrong resins and residue reduce throughput and increase reprocessing cost.

Weak supplier accountability

Without documented evidence at intake, disputes turn into your word against theirs.

What is contamination costing you?

A small purity gap turns into a large dollar figure at scale. Plug in your own numbers and see how quickly a BaleScan subscription pays for itself.
