summary
- For recycling to be successful, it is essential to supply high-quality recyclable raw materials that are determined by backcasting from the acceptance criteria of manufacturers of products using the recycled
materials and from the recycling technology to produce them.
- AIST considers the characteristics of the incoming waste and the quality of the required recyclable raw materials, and after finding the sorting limits, builds the optimal sorting system (combination of collective/individual sorting).
- Furthermore, if this leads to improved quality and increased variety of recycled materials, it will contribute to diverse product designs.
