By using the new “OBJECT-AI” technology, the new sorting system by Sesotec can reliably separate PET that is suitable for food from other packaging
Large quantities of plastic packaging are still being used for energy recovery. This results in the loss of valuable raw materials. PET recycling in particular offers enormous potential for a functioning circular economy, as PET is lightweight, easily moldable, and can be recycled multiple times. It is also approved for food contact and economically attractive to process.
