If you’re new here, the Plastic Scanner is an open-source initiative aimed at simplifying plastic identification, making it accessible to everyone. Let’s dive into the latest developments! Development Board Update Last month, we introduced the […]
Welcome to the latest update on the Plastic Scanner project! Our team has been hard at work creating a device that can identify the most common types of plastic. In the last month, we reached a major milestone when we shared our first-ever “Guess the Plastic” video. This video showcased the current state of the […]
Hello, lovely people! It’s great to be back with another exciting update on the Plastic Scanner project. As you may know, we’re creating a device that can easily identify the most common types of plastic, making recycling simpler and more accessible to everyone. And the best part? It’s all being done in an open-source manner, […]
By now, you all know what the Plastic Scanner project is about. But what truly makes this project exceptional is the community that has formed around it. As mentioned in the latest update video, the Plastic Scanner team has been working on a series of endeavors, which are specific projects that people can work on […]
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. However, through the development of the Plastic Scanner project, we want to provide tools to fight plastic pollution. The Plastic Scanner is an open-source initiative aimed at making plastic sorting simple and accessible. The project uses discrete infrared LED technology and machine learning algorithms to identify the most common types of plastic and thus boost plastic recycling. Over […]
