The developed laboratory prototype sorts disposed consumer plastic packaging wastes moving on a conveyor belt. This state-of-art plastic waste sorting technology has been developed for the first time in India. Operating principle: Based on on-line Near infrared spectroscopy of the singulated plastic objects moving on a conveyor. Materials sorted: Poly-ethylene-teraphthalate (PET), independent of color except carbon coating black. Can also sort poly-ethylene (PE), poly-propylene (PP), poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC) and poly-styrene (PS), independent of color except carbon containing black. System throughput: 200 kg/hour & upgradeable. Accuracy: PET material sorting close to hundred percentile. Suitable for recovery and recycle. Helps in protecting the environment, ecology and public health.
