[Case Study] Utilized for the identification of waste plastics! Mazda
We will introduce a case that has gained a foothold in achieving material recycling through changes in materials!
We would like to introduce a case where Mazda Corporation, which is engaged in the manufacturing and sales of passenger cars, implemented the "Ricoh Resin Identification Handheld Sensor B150." The company was working on properly sorting and processing waste generated from the production process to enhance the value of waste plastics. However, even though they were manually sorting waste plastics associated with packaging materials for parts, the majority of the materials were unidentified, making accurate sorting difficult. With the introduction of this sensor, they were able to accurately identify over 80% of the materials, providing a foothold for achieving material recycling through material changes. 【Previous Challenges】 - They were manually sorting waste plastics associated with packaging materials, but the majority were unidentified, making accurate sorting difficult. - They were unable to visualize the types and quantities of materials being discharged. - They needed to take action in response to regulatory proposals requiring the use of recycled plastics for more than 25% of the plastics needed for new car production in Europe. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
basic information
【Introduction Effects】 ■ By using sensors to distinguish waste plastics that could not be accurately identified by manual methods, we are now able to identify over 80% of the materials. ■ The sensor is portable and easy to carry, allowing it to be lent out to various departments within a large factory for identification purposes. ■ We have become able to engage in activities aimed at repurposing waste plastics associated with packaging materials into automotive parts. * For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
