Bioplastics Recycling Cluster Talks: New technologies and digital tools for collecting and sorting bioplastics: NIR technologies, 9 September 2025
09. September 2025
This talk was held on 9 September 2025 on the topic “New technologies and digital tools for collecting and sorting bioplastics: NIR technologies”
In this first talk, we spotlighted new technologies and digital tools that are transforming how bioplastics are identified and sorted in waste streams.
Experts:
- Carles Musoll (PICVISA)
- Gemma Figuerola Miró (LEITAT )
Together, they have shared innovations in near-infrared (NIR) sorting technologies and how AI and sensor-based systems are being adapted to improve the separation and recovery of bioplastics from mixed waste streams.
