“…The sorting and processing will vary greatly from location to location due to different plastic waste collection processes, waste stream composition, recycling infrastructures, available equipment, and capacity, but also by the recycled plastic type market demand [21]. There are several separation and identification techniques which can be used, such as sinkfloat [65,66], froth flotation [67], near/mid infrared spectroscopy [68][69][70], X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy [71,72], hydrocyclones [73][74][75], tribo-electrostatic [76][77][78], magnetic density sorting [79,80], magnetic levitation [81,82], hyperspectral imaging [83][84][85], laser induced breakdown spectroscopy [86][87][88], hybrid jig [89], and many others. There are several reviews in the literature discussing the techniques, principles, advantages, and drawbacks in detail [18,46,79,[90][91][92][93][94].…”
