About

This project aims to develop a simple handheld scanner that can detect five different types of plastic. Get involved so we will be able to share build instructions online as soon as possible, so that also you can make one!

The Plastic Scanner project started as a graduation project by Jerry de Vos. It applied the technology developed by Armin Straller which is described in this paper. The hardware is based on the ReReMeter.

This project is shared under the following licenses:
