Compact Automated Waste Sorter
The Compact Automated Waste Sorter or "CAWS" is a spectrometer-driven waste sorting system aimed at improving the rate of recycling in public spaces.
The basic goal of the CAWS is to quickly sort waste as it passes through the system by means of waste chute and conveyor belt. This goal was accomplished through the utilization of a Ocean Insight near-infrared (0.96-1.65 um wavelength range) spectrometer integrated with custom optical and electrical systems.
The end product is a waste solution that can sort trash with greater than 90% accuracy. Most components are capable of running off of solar power, therefore minimizing the device’s environmental impact. The CAWS offers a novel solution to the issue of public recycling that simplifies the sorting process from end user to recycling facility.
