What is it about?

The amount of plastic waste is on the increase in many developing countries and many methods have been applied but this study used the physical properties of plastic waste for the sorting in order to overcome the manual sorting and chemical based methods.

Why is it important?

It was observed that the model was capable of classifying plastic wastes using physical characteristics such as sound clips, recycling code, and plastic area of plastics. It was also observed that sound signal can be used in plastic waste identification.

Perspectives

Developing this model, we have been able to prove that sound clip, resin codes and area of the plastic waste can be used for plastic identification.
