The growing number of mobile phone users on a global scale has led to enormous amounts of electronic waste (e-waste) being generated annually. Insufficient knowledge of e-waste separation causes individuals to dispose of e-waste along with other wast...
Efficient recycling of plastics is critical for environmental sustainability. In this work, an efficient and anti-interference method for plastic classification based on one-shot learning and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was proposed. ...
Accurate identification of plastic materials from post-consumer food container and packaging waste is crucial for enhancing the purity and added value of recycled materials, thereby promoting recycling and addressing the issue of plastic pollution. H...
Suboptimal nutrition in organic waste limits the growth of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, thereby reducing biowaste recycling efficiency. In this study, weight gain data from BSF larvae fed diets with distinct nutrient compositions were used to buil...
Flexible plastic packaging (FPP) constitutes one of the largest post-consumer plastic streams processed in recycling facilities. To address the key challenges of its sorting and quality control, this study developed and tested a classification proced...
The accumulation of construction solid waste (CSW) leads to the waste of land resources and environmental pollution, becoming a significant social problem. Identifying the amount of high-value CSW is essential for assessing the value of accumulated C...
Global waste generation is projected to reach 3.40 billion tons by 2050, necessitating improved waste sorting for effective recycling and progress toward a circular economy. Achieving this transformation requires higher sorting intensity through inte...
