FabriTell, PlasTell and CarpeTell identify material composition in approximately one second, so your team sorts faster, grades higher, and earns more per tonne.
Each device uses the same NIR spectroscopy core, purpose-engineered for textiles, plastics, or carpet.

Identifies 10 pure fibres + 13 blends in approximately one second. Cotton, polyester, silk, viscose, elastane and more.

Identifies 25+ plastics in approximately one second, opaque and transparent samples. PET, PE, PP, ABS, PVC and more.

Identifies 9 major flooring materials + 3 blends including Nylon 6, Nylon 66, PP, PET and wool.
No sample prep. No chemicals. Place the sensor window against any fabric, plastic, or carpet.
Near-infrared reflectance at 1,550–1,950 nm captures the unique absorption pattern in approximately one second.
No internet required. The AI model runs on-device and lights the programmable LED in your configured colour.
Scans upload to your Matoha Cloud dashboard via Wi-Fi. Export to Excel. Access via API. Full audit trail.

One-click PDF and Excel exports for waste stream audits, EU EPR compliance, and customer reporting.
Connect scan data to your ERP, WMS, or custom systems. Full REST API with documentation.
Track who scanned what, when, and where. Proof of sorting for customers and regulators.
Identification runs entirely on-device. No subscription, no cloud dependency. Works anywhere, even offline.
Scan faster than any manual method, hundreds of items per hour, across fabric, plastic and carpet.
Map any material to any colour. Your sorters follow the light, zero reading, minimal training time.
Every scan is logged. Pull waste-stream audit reports and composition breakdowns, exportable to Excel or API.
Configure LED colours, view scan history, update firmware, and train custom materials, all from the app.
Every use case covered. From pocket-sized field scanners to automation-ready sensing modules.
From fast-fashion waste to post-consumer plastics and end-of-life carpet, Matoha gives every sorting operation the data it needs.
Sort cotton, polyester, silk, wool, and 6 more fibre types. Turn unsorted waste into premium-grade feedstock worth more per tonne.
FabriTell →Identify PET, PE, PP, PVC, ABS and 20+ more polymers in approximately one second. Transparent and opaque samples both supported.
PlasTell →Separate Nylon 6, Nylon 66, PP, PET, and wool carpet grades. Maximise recovery value from end-of-life flooring streams.
CarpeTell →"I love our spectrometer! There's lots of plastic material that we formerly had to turn away because it was unmarked. Now we can take almost all of the unidentified material. Since we collect over 8,000 pounds a month, the amount of saved plastic is significant."
"The PlasTell is performing perfectly, and we are thrilled with the ease of use and the measurement speed. Your device has reduced the time it takes to identify contamination issues and means I don't have calls and messages at night anymore. It's also been the simplest training package I have had to deliver."
"The PlasTell has become one of our favourite teaching tools. We use it from undergraduate practical classes to PhD training and public outreach events. It provides an engaging and intuitive way to introduce polymer identification and plastic sorting."
