Customers receive a list of buildable sets, with options to source missing parts and receive the completed, packed sets ready for building. The process includes cleaning, grouping, and optional set-specific sorting of the original brick collection.

Problem
Many LEGO bricks end up unused in boxes due to the time-consuming nature of sorting and the difficulty of identifying which sets can be rebuilt from a mixed collection. This leads to underutilization of existing resources and contributes to plastic waste.
Solution
Sort A Brick offers an AI-powered service that sorts, cleans, and restores used LEGO bricks into complete sets. Customers send in their mixed LEGO collections, and Sort A Brick uses computer vision and machine learning algorithms to identify restorable sets. The service provides a detailed report of restorable sets and missing parts, allowing customers to order the missing pieces or have the bricks sorted into sets as is. Remaining bricks are sorted by color and size for convenient future use, promoting reuse and reducing waste in the toy industry.
