Global Recycling Day 2026
Today, we highlight the important role of recycling in building a more sustainable future. The steel industry relies on scrap metal as a necessary resource. Within the PURESCRAP project, we focus on improving the characterisation of post-consumer scrap. By combining an optical-spectroscopic sensor chain with deep learning solutions, PURESCRAP enables a more accurate characterisation of […]
