Abstract To use technology to develop a way to sort plastics more effectively. Plastics are rarely recycled, despite what bin you put them at home, as the recycling processes can only happen if plastics are sorted properly. Unfortunately, this process is lengthy which is why most waste companies don’t do it. However, automating the process can improve the system, helping the world.
