…year, according to a 2019 National Geographic report. While governments debate how to address the problem, the global market for solvent-based plastic recycling could reach $965.1 million by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%, predicted Research and Markets. This past week, MIT noted that new catalysts could break down plastics for reuse, but first, items must be collected and sorted. Robotics and machine learning are helping to sort plastics faster and more efficiently than ever before. Is robotic sorting the answer? Manual processing of waste is dull, dirty, and dangerous, making it ideal for automation. Several…
