On-site waste recycling sorter and the complementary bio-based florescence tagging technology

Next-Generation Reverse Vending Machine

Recycling is never an easy job

Our team is now developing a RVM that allows class-based plastic categorization with the aid of NIR spectroscopy.

Market Validation

We have implemented market research to understand the gap in recycling, especially plastic recycling. The data reveal that over 90% of the citizens, regardless of age, process no knowledge regarding classes of plastics. Simultaneously, we have organised visits to various local recycling facilities to understand the pain points in the industry. They conceded that class-based classification and handling is not achievable in nowadays infrastructures. After a thorough overhaul, our team has endeavoured to develop a one-off solution for precise plastic classification and separation.

Strike for the best!

We have focused efforts on the development of the RVM. It is unquestionably challenging to build a functional machine from scratch within a short duration of time. It is a blend of physics, mechanics, computing and design. Thanks to the enormous diversity in our team, we gathered talents from all fields to tackle thorny issues on the way.

Our journey continues…

We are now preparing the pilot plans that are scheduled in the coming months. We will deploy our RVM in educational institutions, to educate the participants, the younger generation about the proper plastic recycling, and give them a taste of the fruit of innovation and technology. Stay tuned for our new updates!
