Scipher Commissions Multi-Sensor Sorter for Difficult Plastic Stream
Scipher Technologies is tackling the challenge of separating and recovering fractions from hard plastics in e-waste. The company has commissioned a multi-sensor sorter, manufactured by MSS, which uses sensors and algorithms to scan and separate pre-processed fractions based on size, color, and metal content. This equipment produces a clean stream of recyclable single-polymer plastics, a significant achievement as bonded hard plastics are difficult to separate and recover. Scipher Technologies collaborates with local councils and B2B clients to source feedstock, and their export-quality plastic is sent to markets in Asia. The company is focused on developing solutions for e-waste plastics while supporting environmentally sound recycling practices. The MSS equipment provides excellent technical support, and Scipher Technologies aims to offer a complete solution for diverting waste from landfills and promoting a circular economy.
