Recycling collection rate improved to 90%! Significantly enhanced material identification accuracy for waste plastic films.
We would like to introduce a case study from Meiwa Pax Co., Ltd. that solved the challenges of material identification accuracy for the valuable trading of multi-material waste films and improving recycling rates. The company faced difficulties in sorting and collecting waste plastic films that had become leftover materials and offcuts, as the materials were not easily identifiable. As a result, valuable trading and recycling became impossible. By introducing the "RICOH Resin Identification Handheld Sensor," the accuracy of polypropylene identification improved, leading to a recovery rate of up to 90%. [Previous Challenges] - Waste plastic films that had undergone processing, such as laminating and printing, could not be identified by material type, making it impossible to sort and collect them for valuable trading or recycling. - The recycling recovery rate and valuable trading rate for polypropylene remained around 10%, indicating a need for reform. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
