Abstract
Most of the things around us contain plastic in their composition, which makes
plastic one of the most widespread materials on earth, and as a result of its
short life, this makes the recycling process necessary and important.
The recycling process requires a highly accurate sorting process, and it is
not logical that the separation process is done manually, which led to the development
of automatic methods of separation.
This project focuses on the development of an automated system that utilizes
near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy to identify and separate different types of
plastic. The system employs the principles of near-infrared radiation to analyze
the reflective properties of plastic samples.using a conveyer belt, the plastic
piece is placed on it and separated based on a reading that is taken and sorted
into containers using an air pump.
