Developing an Intelligent Material Classification System for Plastic and Other Materials

This paper was created within the EU Horizon project -RECICLARM -which conducted waste management research with the purpose of recycling up to 70% of Europe's waste [1].Our investigation focused on developing an algorithm capable of accurately classifying materials including plastic onces in categories of interest with the help of machine learning.Various types of materials and input variables have been documented and considered while prototyping and testing the intelligent classification algorithm, which resulted in a precise and efficient solution.
