Identification of plastics in the recycling industry with the MicroNIR OnSite-W

For efficient processing of plastic waste, recycling companies rely on recognizing and reliably identifying plastics. However, these raw materials only get a good price if they can be sorted and reused. Incorrect additions not only mean lower sales prices or rejections, they can also cause major damage to plastics processing plants. Robust on-site solutions that detect plastics quickly and reliably accelerate all subsequent business processes. That saves recycling companies time and money!

Near infrared (NIR) has been the recognized and most widely used method for plastic detection for decades. This technology is also used in large sorting facilities for plastic waste. With portable NIR spectrometers, the user obtains valid results that correspond to those in sorting companies. Other methods, such as the fire test, are either harmful to health or much more expensive and time-consuming than laboratory analyses. In this webinar, you will be introduced to the robust, handy and wireless MicroNIR Spectrometer with which you can easily perform measurements on location. How easy this is, will be shown to you by specialist in spectroscopy Kees van der Sar during this webinar.
