Accurately sorting white polyamide from mixed waste is challenging due to its visual similarity to wood and metals. Researchers developed a dual imaging approach combining laser-induced fluorescence and hyperspectral reflectance, which distinctly identifies polyamide by its unique light signatures. This breakthrough promises more efficient automated recycling and paves the way for advanced waste management.
