We chose to invest in 3 PlasTell devices in order to help with the research we are doing at Plymouth for the INdIGO Interreg Project. We found the device so easy to use and able to take out onto the field with us to quickly identify fishing gear material and help with the recycling efforts here in the south of England. via LinkedIn

The Pla​s​Tell machine has been performing brilliantly. Results are accurate and within seconds. We have used the machine extensively since we had it without any trouble so far. So no complaints in the product itself. In fact we might pick up a couple more for our other locations in 2023. via LinkedIn

Highly compact, accurate and low-cost sensing - These three keywords describe our NIR PlasTell very well. At Omnicycle we use our NIR Sensing module to identify the different kinds of plastic which have been assigned to us by our customers. The PlasTell scans the plastic and accurately reveals the specific involved material. via LinkedIn

We use the FabriTell machine mainly for analysing production scraps from textiles. The device works well. It is useful and helps us with specific materials. We don’t need to use the machine all the time as we get the composition from our customers. However, when we don’t get the composition it is a very useful machine for us to be able to identify the fibre. via LinkedIn

Developed by Matoha Instrumentation Ltd., with training conducted by Fashion for Good - this handheld FabriTell device will change the game in sorting. Within seconds, it displays the fabric compositions of the textile scanned, with precision. It lights up a different colour for different fibres (a fabric displaying purple light can be tossed into a purple sorting bucket).

With this, we don't need burn or any other tests conducted on each bale of pre-con waste or each individual fabric in case of post-con waste. It'll now be a matter of seconds.

1. Performance: On a scale from 1-10; I would rate it an 8. I think the only issue was the need for a plug point every time we needed to use the analyser. However, I saw your devices now come with a built-in battery so that should be a 10 now. 
2. Ease of Use: The machine is extremely user-friendly, and anyone can use it. I love that it has an app that stores all previously analysed data. Also, the incredibly useful feature is that we can reprogramme the led to display a colour based on the plastic. For example, we use red if it's a plastic that we cannot process.
3. Accuracy: I have tested the accuracy by using known plastics and it was able to accurately determine the type of plastic each and every time.
4. Integration: We are able to use the analyser to determine the waste plastic we receive before we use it in our process. This prevents the use of incorrect plastic that could result in a dangerous situation. 
5. Support: On a scale from 1-10; I would rate it a 10. The team was able to help me and reset the machine when I had an issue, and they were very efficient. — Review of PlasTell

This little device is an absolute game changer for us in the workshop. We get a huge amount of plastic donated to us, a lot of which have resin codes, however there’s also a lot that comes in completely unmarked, so we have no idea what type of plastic it is and whether or not we’re able to recycle it. Fortunately, the PlasTell by @matohascience sorts that issue out for us.  

The PlasTell is performing perfectly, and we are thrilled with the ease of use and the measurement speed.
 
We have a FTIR in the lab but it’s difficult to train people on and takes time and knowledge to accurately identify materials. 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.
 
Many thanks for sorting this for us.
