Electro-optical method of distinguishing recyclable plastics (2010)
Thesis
Ee Yee, L. C. (2010). Electro-optical method of distinguishing recyclable plastics [Masters thesis, University of Hull]. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209592

The UK produces 3 million tonnes of plastic waste each year, of which 85% is landfilled, 8% is incinerated and only 7% recycled. Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60W light bulb for six hours. Our local East Riding of Y...
