Plastic Packaging Recycling Using Intelligent Separation Technologies for Materials
The sorting of plastic articles is currently achieved using near infrared spectroscopy but this cannot identify all material types. The objective of this work is to develop luminescent codes that can be printed onto plastic articles that identify both the material and also end-use in high speed sorting equipment.The authors are grateful to Innovate UK and the EPSRC (EP/N508974/1) for funding this progra
