Hyperspectral imaging shapes the future of sustainable recycling

Efficient recycling of waste into reusable raw materials is one of the significant efforts we must take to stop global warming and the over-exploitation of natural resources.

The environmental benefits of recycling are clear. Recycling conserves natural resources and reduces greenhouse gases and pollution, and the use of fossil fuels in energy production. It reduces energy consumption by about 70 % for plastics, 60 % for steel, 40 % for paper, and 30 % for glass.

Seal inspection through a printed film

Airtight packages preserve the product’s freshness, improve quality and prevent leaks. It is essential to ensure that the package is reliably sealed, and this sets requirements for seal inspection process. Good seals can only be made on clean material: any contamination between the seal and the package is no longer airtight. As a result, air and contaminants such as mol...
