  • Due to the increase in population and consequently the increase in the production of plastic waste, recovery of this part of the waste is an undeniable necessity. On the other hand, the recycling of plastic waste, if it is placed in a systematic process and controlled, can be effective in creating jobs and maintaining environmental health. Waste collection in many large cities has become a major problem due to lack of proper planning with increasing waste from population accumulation and changing consumption patterns. Today, waste management is no longer limited to waste collection, but waste collection is one of the important areas of its management, i.e. training, segregation, collection, recycling and processing. In this study, a systematic method based on machine vision for sorting plastic bottles in different colors for recycling purposes will be proposed. In this method, image classification and segmentation techniques were presented to improve the performance of plastic bottle classification. Evaluation of the proposed method and comparison with previous works showed the proper performance of this method.

  • Modern people live in the age of plastics. It has been widely used due to its easy molding processing, mass production, and excellent durability. However, over-produced plastics for convenience cause plastic disasters and adversely affect the ecosystem. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the use of single-use plastic waste due to the use of delivery services has increased. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a plastic pandemic. Currently, domestic recycling policies depend only on recycling collection companies and market prices of recyclable resources. This paper confirms whether the outbreak of COVID-19 has affected the price of plastic waste. It also shows that the price of plastic waste is more unstable than metals with a high recycling rate. This urges businesses to share the cost of recycling on plastic waste, no longer being dependent on market prices for recyclable resources.

  • 최근 대규모로 발생되는 플라스틱 폐기물은 사회적, 환경적 처리비용의 증가를 야기하고 있으며, 아울러 폐플라스틱의 재활용과 재이용을 위한 혁신적인 기술개발에 많은 관심을 집중시키고 있다. 플라스틱고형폐기물(PSW)의 처리방법은 재이용(1차), 물질 재활용(2차), 화학적 재활용(3차) 그리고 열에너지회수(4차)의 4단계로 분류 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 PSW의 처리 및 재자원화를 위한 다양한 분리, 선별 및 재활용 기술들에 대해 조사 분석하고, 현시점에서 경제적이고 친환경적인 PSW 처리 방안에 대해 제언하고자 하였다.
