Abstract:
Recycling plastic is an important step towards a circular economy. Attaining high-quality recycled plastics requires the separation of plastic waste by type, color, and size prior to reprocessing. Automated technology is key for sorting plastic objects in medium- to high-volume plants. The current state of the art of commercial equipment for sorting plastic as well as challenges faced by Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to sort post-consumer plastics are analyzed here. Equipment for sorting plastic recyclables were identified using publicly available information obtained from manufacturers’

Abstract:
Plastics recycling is an important component of the circular economy. In mechanical recycling, the recovery of high-quality plastics for subsequent reprocessing requires plastic waste to be first sorted by type, color, and size. In chemical recycling, certain types of plastics should be removed first as they negatively affect the process. Such sortation of plastic objects at Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) relies increasingly on automated technology. Critical for any sorting is the proper identification of the plastic type. Spectroscopy is used to this end, increasingly augmented by machi

Abstract:
Challenges associated with plastic waste management range from littering to high collection costs to low recycling rates. Effective collection of plastics is obviously an important step in the management of plastic waste and has an impact on recycling rates. For this reason, several countries have transformed their collection systems in recent decades. Collecting more plastic packaging comes at a cost, as the feedstock for the sorting process becomes more complex and leads to cross-contamination within the sorted fractions. Therefore, a balance must be obtained between some elements, such as t

The preliminary sorting of plastic products is a necessary step to improve the utilization of waste resources. To improve the quality and efficiency of sorting, a plastic detection scheme based on deep learning is proposed in this paper for a waste plastics sorting system based on vision detection.

Abstract:
Global plastic pollution is a negative impact on the environment as the production and use of plastic are increasing rapidly. Plastic recycling is a significant step towards a circular economy. Over the decades, much plastic has been in circulation for various applications. Recycling plastic wastes (PW) entails waste sorting using some physical properties including plastic types, colors, and shapes, to produce high-quality recycled plastics. Classification of PWs includes common plastic types: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), High-density polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Low-den

As the effect of density separation for waste plastic mixtures was poor, this research studied the impacts of wetting agents on the sorting rates of waste plastic mixtures and the mechanisms of wetting agents in density separation. The results showed that the surface activity of plastics could be changed by wetting agents and thus the sorting rates of plastics under the density separation system could be improved. Impacts of wetting agents such as CaLS, NP-7 and MC on density separation of plastics are related not only to the molecular structure of plastic materials but also to the separating

Plastic pollution is an enormous environmental problem that has been increasing exponentially in the last few decades. Despite the huge public awareness, overall recycling rate remains only at 8.7%.

Therefore, the success of plastic recycling critically depends on developing cost-effective techniques that automate the entire process of sorting plastics based on their chemical composition in a high throughput fashion.

Plastics are extremely valuable to our society and are widely used in many industries such as food, beverage, textile, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, construction, agriculture, oil, etc. Since plastics do not degrade easily with time, the discarded plastics pose a grave environmental problem. Only less than 10% of plastics is recycled in the US. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase the recycling of plastic products. At present, sorting of plastic waste is carried out manually which is time consuming, costly and manual labor intensive. To address this problem, a novel multi-modal

Abstract:
Bio-plastics are characterized by the highest rate of growth in the plastics industry. In connection with the recycling chain they constitute the so-called “oxo-biodegradation” and drop-in problems. The present study tries to clarify possibilities of automatic recognition and sorting of conventional fossil-based plastics against similar “oxo-biodegradable” plastics and drop-ins by means of NIR-SWIR-Hyperspectral-Imaging (HIS). The spectral structures of the most important plastics (conventional fossil-based plastics and bio-plastics) have been incorporated in a database as references for diffe
