Digital technologies hold enormous potential for improving the performance of future-
generation sorting and processing plants; however, this potential remains largely untapped …

Quality of recycling is a concept used by many authors in the scientific literature and the EU
legislator. However, a clear definition of what is intended for quality of recycling and a …

Recycling plastic is an important step towards a circular economy. Attaining high-quality
recycled plastics requires the separation of plastic waste by type, color, and size prior to …

Recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the largest varieties of synthetic
polymers and the primary textile feedstock, presents a significant challenge when waste PET …

Household packaging waste sorting facilities consist of complex networks of processes to
separate diverse waste streams. These facilities are a key first step to re-enter materials into …

Mass-based material flow compositions (MFCOs) are crucial to assess and optimize
mechanical plastic recycling processes. While MFCOs are determined by manual sorting …

The growing environmental concerns have emerged the necessity of sustainable waste
management of construction and demolition (C&D) wastes. This review explores the …

Plastics recycling is an important component of the circular economy. In mechanical
recycling, the recovery of high-quality plastics for subsequent reprocessing requires plastic …

Aortic dissection continues to be responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, although
recent advances in medical data assimilation and in experimental and in silico models have …

Sorting plants are crucial for effective recycling, but their optimization can be challenging
due to the heterogeneity of waste streams. We introduce a novel approach to holistically …
