Recycling Contamination Detection

Location

James E. Gleason Hall - Erdle

Recycling Contamination Detection (RCD) is the process of measuring the level of food waste on recyclable products. This project aims to make RCD an automatic process in order to reduce landfill waste. This product can receive recyclable materials and measure the level of contamination by means of image analysis paired with spectrometry. The results of the contamination analysis can be viewed on an external monitor, showcasing the full process of detecting contamination.
