Advancements in technology have led to the increased production of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Plastic, which is becoming more and more relevant for recovery or material recycling systems, is one of the most common materials found in WEEE.
The use of expensive and complex equipment in the recycling sector is problematic due to technical, environmental, and financial factors. Efficient and cost-effective solutions for material characterization, quality control, and sorting applications are needed. The use of Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)-based sensors working in the Short-Wave InfraRed (SWIR) spectral range represent a viable solution to this challenge. This study presents a methodological approach using SWIR-HSI techniques for sorting and quality control applications of various plastic streams from WEEE. View this paper
