Greyparrot unveils new AI platform to offer recyclable waste insights
This system provides brands with direct access to their recyclable waste data, addressing a significant knowledge gap in post-use product life cycles caused by limited waste infrastructure and inadequate data availability.
Deepnest delivers precise insights into packaging performance, enabling brands to refine their products and business models.
By 2040, regulations such as virgin plastic taxes and extended producer responsibility fees are projected to cost global businesses up to $100bn annually, stated Greyparrot.
Extending the packaging's life cycle is essential for enhancing circularity and mitigating financial risks, according to the company.
Consumer goods companies currently invest millions in product innovation, testing facilities, and consultancy services to improve their packaging, but often lack real-world data to verify these efforts.
Deepnest addresses this by offering granular, product-specific data that tracks packaging performance across brands, materials, and regions.
It provides clarity on how packaging navigates the waste stream, detailing what is sorted, recycled, or lost, relying solely on objective, data-driven evidence, without reliance on estimates.
The platform further equips brands with tailored recommendations to optimise their packaging design, including adjustments to shape, colour, and material composition.
Greyparrot co-founder Ambarish Mitra said: 'The term 'waste' is itself a misnomer - our data shows that post-consumption materials are worth billions to our global economy. For too long, brands have had to operate with little visibility into their packaging's end-of-life.'
Major consumer goods brands and packaging manufacturers, including Unilever and Amcor, are currently trialling Greyparrot's technology to adapt to the evolving waste management landscape and leverage its insights.
Unilever deodorants global R&D head Liz Smith said: 'AI-enabled waste intelligence tools have great potential to provide new visibility into how packaging is actually being sorted and processed in real-world recycling systems.'
In May 2024, Greyparrot teamed up with VAN DYK Recycling Solutions, which serves over 50% of the US waste management market.
Together, they will retrofit large materials recovery facilities with advanced AI sorting technology to enhance recycling rates, improve material purity, and digitally measure emissions.

3 Reasons Why the Crypto Market Isn't in a Bubble (Yet)
Key Points Some people are concerned that there's a crypto bubble. Bitcoin is currently valued fairly on the basis of one important model. Major cryptocurrencies still haven't broken their former all-time highs. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › Every few years, a soaring asset earns dire comparisons to tulips or to tech stocks in 1999. With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) now above $118,000, up 407% in the last three years, those warnings are back. Getting the timing wrong can mean missing years of upside, or, worse, buying just before the music stops. But the market probably isn't in a crypto bubble just yet, on the basis of three reasons in particular. Together, these factors doubtlessly signal enthusiasm in the market, but not the runaway fervor that defines a bubble, so let's examine each of them. 1. The "rainbow" chart The rate of Bitcoin's creation of new supply falls by 50% roughly every four years in an event called the halving. By throttling new coin generation, each halving tends to reset the market's supply-demand balance, so prices often trace a loose, approximately four-year rhythm spanning both before and afterward. Thus, it's possible to use the data on how the coin performed both before and after prior halvings to create a framework for projecting the future price at a given point in time. On that front, BitBo's well-known Halving Price Regression (HPR) chart, often known as the "rainbow" chart, turns those rhythms into a visual gauge. This illustration aims to both predict Bitcoin's future performance, and to position its current price in relation to where it was after the same amount of time since past halvings. It does this by anchoring a logarithmic regression curve to Bitcoin's price on each past halving date, and then it extrapolates the trend forward in time. The curve is wrapped in seven color bands: The blue band hugs the trend line; it implies the market is pricing Bitcoin roughly "on schedule" compared to past halving cycles, suggesting that it's neither underpriced nor overpriced. The green band sits one tier higher and represents periods in which the coin is of a moderately high valuation relative to the amount of time since the most recent halving, but likely still worth accumulating. The yellow, orange, and red bands each track further and further above the long-term trend, marking zones where price runs one, two, or three-plus years ahead of halving-based expectations; when the coin's price is in these bands, it's at higher and higher risk of reverting to the mean rather than continuing to trend higher. At today's level, Bitcoin is planted in the green band, at least two tiers beneath the yellow, orange, and red hot zones that coincided with blow-off tops in late 2021 and 2017. In short, based on the rainbow chart, the coin seems to be priced appropriately, given the halving cycle's current status. This relatively cool reading suggests that Bitcoin's market sentiment is currently upbeat, but it's very far from being euphoric. 2. Market leaders haven't reclaimed their old peaks Bubbles usually begin when the flagship assets smash fresh records and refuse to look back. And that is quite simply not what the cryptocurrency market shows today. Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) trades near $3,700, roughly 25% under its November 2021 high of $4,878. Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) is priced at around $200, still 32% below its 2021 peak of near $293. It's true that they've gained a lot in the past three months -- just look at this chart: However, that still doesn't change the fact that they haven't even tested their all-time highs yet, although these peaks are likely to come over the next 12 months. If household-name coins can't break into uncharted territory, a sustained frenzy like in a bubble is much harder to spark. Yes, a few exotic meme coins are sprinting ahead, but they always do, and there haven't even been any truly egregious runs this year yet. A genuine bubble needs blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum to set and then break records. Until that happens, the probability that the entire market is wildly overpriced remains much lower than a few of the more excited headlines imply. 3. Big money is only starting to dip its toes True bubbles form when most deep-pocketed investors are both fully allocated and leaning on leverage to maximize the possible returns from their positions. The crypto market is nowhere near those milestones. Per a survey conducted by Coinbase in March, 86% of institutions intend to hold crypto, yet only 59% plan to allocate more than 5% of portfolios to cryptocurrencies this year, and, as of mid-July, very few have actually done so. Corporate crypto treasuries are similarly modest, at least for now. A grouping of roughly 130 public companies hold about $87 billion of Bitcoin, equal to just 3.2% of coins that can ever exist. During a real bubble -- where people start to believe that the prices of crypto assets can never go down significantly ever again -- the allocation to Bitcoin among companies would likely be dramatically higher than it is now, with more than a handful of public businesses holding it on their balance sheets. Until that happens, and practically every company is announcing a Bitcoin treasury strategy, it's hard to believe that the crypto market is very frothy at all.

Cybercrime forum Leak Zone publicly exposed its users' IP addresses
A self-styled 'leaking and cracking forum' where users advertise and share breached databases, stolen credentials, and pirated software was leaking the IP addresses of its logged-in users to the open web, security researchers have found. Leak Zone left an Elasticsearch database exposed to the internet without a password, according to researchers at UpGuard. In a blog post shared with TechCrunch ahead of its publication, the researchers said they discovered the database on July 18 and found its data was accessible to anyone with a web browser. The exposed database contained more than 22 million records storing the IP address and precise timestamp of when Leak Zone users logged in. The records were dated as recently as June 25, and the database was updating in real-time. While the records were not linked to individual users, the data could be used to identify users who logged into Leak Zone without using any anonymization tools. Some of the records, seen by TechCrunch, indicate whether a user is believed to have logged in through a proxy, such as a VPN, which can help conceal the user's real-world location. Leak Zone, which gained popularity in 2020, advertises access to a 'vast collection of leaks ranging from breached databases to cracked accounts,' referring to stolen credentials used for logging into a person's online accounts. The forum also offers a marketplace that explicitly promotes 'illegal services,' the site's guide reads. A page on Leak Zone's website claims the forum has more than 109,000 users. According to UpGuard, 95% of the records in the exposed database relate to Leak Zone user logins. The remaining data reference accounts associated with AccountBot, another site for selling access to compromised accounts used for streaming services. TechCrunch verified that the exposed database was recording users logging into Leak Zone by creating a new account and logging in to the site. A corresponding record immediately appeared in the exposed database containing our IP address and the timestamp of the exact moment we logged in. It's not known why the database was publicly exposed. Human error or misconfigurations are often a cause of data exposures, rather than malicious actions. TechCrunch was unable to contact the Leak Zone administrators for comment as the forum software denied our ability to send them messages. It's not clear if the Leak Zone administrators are aware of the exposure or if they plan to notify their users about the security lapse. The database is no longer online, UpGuard told TechCrunch. In recent years, U.S. and international authorities have increasingly targeted cybercrime forums and websites for their roles in facilitating hacking, identity theft, and other criminal activity. This week, Europol announced it had arrested the alleged administrator behind a long-running Russian-language cybercrime forum, which the authorities also seized as part of a takedown operation.
