The most annoying aspect of recycling-and one of the big-gest hurdles to its widespread adoption-is having to separate paper, glass, and plastic before they hit the curb. New recycling machines are changing that. With single-stream recycling, recyclables go into one bin, which a truck delive...
However, this low bar for acceptance was suddenly and comprehensively removed, and with it, the effectiveness of single-stream recycling systems. Despite this setback, there are still occasions when single-stream programs can work. In fact, as with any system, there are pros and cons to its ...
There is currently debate on the effectiveness and efficiency of residential single-stream curbside collection compared to multi-stream curbside collection. This study investigates whether there is an increase in tonnage of recyclables collected at the curb after switching from a multi-stream to single...
(Fig.1a), fluorescence from passing analyte molecules is recorded. The scan trajectory is chosen such that various positions along the channel are probed, including positions that are close to the nozzle where the sample stream meets the co-flowing buffer medium, and others, further away, ...
Further, local waste facilities may lack capacity to process bioplastics, and instead they end up contaminating the recycling and/or composting stream (Perennia, 2021). An issue that was perhaps amplified by increased takeout and delivery in food services was the responsibility of consumers to ...
A prob- lem arises when they are collected in the mixed recycling waste and not separately; this adds to cross-contamination within this waste stream. Even when collected separately, for example in the Netherlands, their DKR 310 (Nedvang 2009a) contains misthrow with aluminium, rigid plastics...

1b). Tilt series are processed in parallel on a multi-core server or computer cluster and the results are live-streamed to a GUI (Extended Data Fig. 1). The tool is designed to support the analysis of hundreds of tilt series and produce the necessary metadata for subsequent high-...
Systems and methods for sorting a plurality of recyclable items in a single-stream materials recovery facility (SSMRF) are provided. In some embodiments, a system includes an infeed
