Technical status and development of waste recycling and screening

The technical status and development of waste recycling and screening can be summarized as follows:

A. Technical status quo

Manual screening: traditional waste recycling screening mainly relies on manual screening. Manual screening is usually done at the point where the waste is generated, before the waste transfer station, or through scavengers, waste collection stations. However, manual screening has high cost and low efficiency. In the screening process, only recyclable and non-recyclable simple classifications are generally carried out, and other categories, such as waste batteries and waste heavy metals, are not further subdivided.

Intelligent classification technology: With the integration of AI technology, intelligent and environmentally friendly waste classification and recycling system is gradually promoted. These systems enable automatic waste identification and classification by integrating advanced technologies such as computer vision and in-depth learning. The intelligent sorting equipment can capture the waste image in real time, accurately judge the type of waste through the image recognition technology, and then quickly classify the waste into the corresponding recycling bin.

Internet+waste recycling: the development of Internet technology also promotes the innovation of waste recycling mode. More and more online recycling platforms provide consumers with more convenient recycling methods. These platforms improve the recycling efficiency by optimizing the recycling business process, and facilitate users to participate in recycling activities.

B. Technology Development

Technology upgrade: The intelligent classification technology will be further developed, including improving the accuracy and efficiency of image recognition, and enhancing the learning ability and adaptability of the system. Waste battery recycling technology, waste plastic recycling technology and other technologies will continue to emerge and improve, bringing new growth points to the waste recycling industry.

Automation and intelligence: With the popularization of automation and intelligence technology, the waste recycling industry will gradually realize the transformation from manual screening to automatic and intelligent screening. Automated screening equipment will enable more efficient and accurate waste sorting, reduce labor costs, and increase recovery efficiency.

Environmental protection and sustainable development: the development of waste recycling technology in the future will pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development. For example, the environmental impact in the recovery process is reduced by optimizing the recovery process, reducing energy consumption and waste emission. The application field of renewable resources will be further expanded, for example, renewable plastics can be used to produce products with higher added value, and renewable metals can be used in high-end manufacturing industry and other fields.

C. Challenges and Opportunities

Challenge: the waste recycling market is scattered and non-standard, small workshops and individual recyclers occupy a large market share, resulting in fierce market competition and inefficient resource utilization. The limitation of recycling sites is also an urgent challenge for waste recycling companies. How to find a balance point between environmental protection requirements and cost control has become an important issue to be solved by enterprises.

Opportunity: With the growth of global population and the improvement of consumption level, the waste generation increases sharply, providing huge market space and development opportunities for the waste recycling industry. The government has introduced a series of policy measures to promote resource recycling and reduce environmental pollution, further promoting the development of the industry. Technological progress and policy support provide a strong guarantee for upgrading and transformation of waste recycling industry.

PS: Waste recycling and screening technology is developing towards intelligence, automation and environmental protection. With the continuous improvement of technology and the continuous promotion of policies, the waste recycling industry is expected to achieve more efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable development.
