Different combinations of sensors can be used to identify and separate different plastics, transforming the material into reusable granules. E-scrap contains hazardous substances or persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as brominated flame retardants, which must not be reused or recycled. Our X-Tract technology can be used to remove these materials, and our Autosort NIR technology can be used to remove the remaining visible polymers in the &LT1000ppm brominated content. The non-visible polymers can then be dried and sorted by polymer type using NIR spectroscopy into individual polymer groups for re-sale. Latest developments in plant design The typical e-waste plant design described above is well proven and widely used, but in recent years, we have worked with customers to introduce some new and innovative alternative applications of our technology.
