SENSORT Technology was awarded the prestigious “Best Innovation in Glass Processing” award at China Glass 2026, held last week in Shanghai. The award recognizes the ST-9000 optical sorter for its groundbreaking integration of artificial intelligence with traditional optical sorting technologies.

The judging panel, comprising industry experts from around the world, praised the ST-9000 for its “exceptional accuracy, reliability, and the tangible value it delivers to recycling operations.” The system was evaluated based on innovation, performance, sustainability impact, and market potential.

“Winning this award at China’s premier glass industry event is a tremendous honor,” said Wang Fang, Head of Product Development. “It validates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sorting technology and motivates us to continue innovating.”

The ST-9000 has been installed in over 50 facilities worldwide since its launch, processing more than 2 million tons of glass cullet to date.
