Optical Sorting

Optical Sorting is a waste sorting technology that uses optical sensors and spectroscopic analysis to identify and segregate materials based on their reflectance or spectral signatures, distinguishing it from other sorting methods by its reliance on non-contact, wavelength-specific detection for material characterization.
