Plastic ScannerOkay people, I have been talking long enough now, let’s get our feet in the plastic and start working on a solution! In a previous post I talked about discrete infrared spectroscopy, an example of this is the ReReMeter, which will also be the foundation of this project. To predict the type of plastic the […]
A simple device that can separate plastics that look and feel the same, I owe you an explanation; The technology to identify plastic is near-infrared spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation, near-infrared indicates the wavelength range, so between 750nm to 2500nm.🥼 To help you understand near-infrared spectroscopy, I will […]
