Reusable materials scanner

How does the reusable materials scanner work?

A scanner integrated into the refuse collection vehicle analyses the material composition of the surface of the waste, which involves sensors and multi-spectrum cameras checking waste and generating data. A neural network uses this information to identify the material, e.g. glass or plastic. Municipalities then receive the results via the communications portal. The results demonstrate the separation behaviour of each household. Additional function: Residents can receive immediate information on their separation results via SMS or app. Personal feedback is a key factor for success!
