Brief Description
Description : | The system sorts plastic waste materials moving on a conveyor into five types of plastics viz., Poly-Ethylene-Teraphthalate (PET), Poly-Propylene (PP), Poly-Vinyl-Chloride (PVC), Poly-Styrene (PS) and Poly-Ethylene (PE).The system is useful for segregating waste plastics into different value-added polymer fractions for efficient recycling. Automated,user-friendly low cost system using open source hardware and software. |
