## About Sortera Technologies, Inc.

Sortera Technologies, Inc.

is a privately held company based in Markle, Indiana, founded in 2020. The company specializes in AI-powered sorting technology and advanced sensor systems for the industrial scrap metal recycling industry. Its primary focus is on separating mixed aluminum scrap into individual alloys for remanufacturing. Sortera's industrial-scale sorting system utilizes X-ray fluorescence, optical sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, and machine learning image processing to accurately identify metal types and alloy compositions, producing high-purity recycled metal feedstocks. Sortera operates a full-scale upcycling facility capable of sorting 220 million pounds of mixed metals annually. The company serves industrial scrap metal recyclers, metal processors, and manufacturers in sectors such as automotive, construction, and aerospace, all of which require high-purity metal feedstocks. With a commitment to enhancing the circular economy, Sortera aims to enable 100% reuse of metals recovered from end-of-life products, thereby strengthening the domestic supply of metals and alloys.
