[Case Study] Sensor Reduces Sorting Time by Half! Higashi Nihon Recycling Systems

Reducing sorting work time by half with the use of a resin identification handheld sensor! Also contributes to reducing work load.

We would like to introduce a case study on the introduction of the "RICOH Resin Identification Handheld Sensor B150" at East Japan Recycling Systems Co., Ltd. The company previously used identification equipment that weighed around 2 kg, which was very heavy and posed a significant workload for workers who had to identify 300 to 350 items per day. After the introduction of the new sensor, the compact and lightweight design improved work efficiency, reducing the working time by about half. Additionally, the types of resins identified are now displayed, eliminating the need for screen switching and shortening measurement time. 【Previous Challenges】 - The weight of the conventional identification equipment was heavy, placing a large burden on workers. - The size of the conventional identification equipment was large, requiring careful selection of a placement area when temporarily setting it down during work. - When the type of resin could not be identified, workers had to switch screens to check the most likely materials, leading to concerns about identification accuracy. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

[Resin Identification Handy Sensor Column] Tips for Measurement: Black Resin Edition

The principle of discrimination is a spectral method using near-infrared light! A column introducing tips for measuring black resin.

The identification principle is a spectroscopic method using near-infrared light. The measurement involves irradiating the resin with near-infrared light and acquiring the spectrum of the diffuse reflected light. The acquired spectrum is transferred to a smartphone, where it is processed by an app, and the resin is identified by comparing the correlation coefficients with the registered resin data. Identification is completed in about 2 seconds, and the results are displayed on the app screen as well as outputted audibly. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links. For more information, feel free to contact us.*

[Case Study] Successful "Monetization" of Waste Plastics through Sensor Utilization! Japan Special Ceramics Co., Ltd.

The introduction of the RICOH handheld sensor has successfully converted about 20% of waste plastic into "valuable materials."

We would like to introduce a case study of the introduction of the "RICOH Resin Identification Handheld Sensor" at Nippon Tokushu Tōgyō Co., Ltd. At the company's Komaki plant, 111 tons of waste plastic are generated annually, and until now, thermal recycling has been conducted. However, the company has decided to aim for the monetization of waste plastic. After the introduction of the RICOH handheld sensor, it became possible to accurately sort materials, allowing for the monetization of 20 tons of waste plastic out of the 111 tons. 【Previous Challenges】 - The company aimed to transition from thermal recycling of 111 tons of waste plastic to monetization. - To have recyclers accept the materials at a value, sorting by material type is necessary, but manual sorting has its limitations. - There was a lack of awareness about sorting waste that could be monetized among the production staff, necessitating a change in mindset across various production departments. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. ★ Webinar Announcement! ★ We will also hold a webinar introducing other case studies. For more details, please refer to the related link or feel free to contact us. Date: December 11 (Wednesday) from 15:00 to 15:50 Participation fee: Free

[Case Study] Visualizing the Value of Waste Plastics! LIXIL

We will introduce a case where efforts towards valuable transactions and waste reduction have rapidly accelerated!

We would like to introduce a case where the "Ricoh Resin Identification Handheld Sensor B150" was implemented at LIXIL Corporation, which handles a wide range of building materials, equipment, and various housing-related services. The company is promoting activities aimed at recycling and monetizing waste plastics at its Nabari factory, which is responsible for the production of entrance doors and interior building materials. However, a significant challenge was that most of the materials were unknown, making it impossible to sort them, and they had to be disposed of as mixed plastics. With the introduction of the sensor, it became possible to identify the types of plastics, and it was found that out of the 200 tons of waste plastics that were previously discarded each year, 50 tons had high potential for profitable resale. This has also contributed to a change in the recycling awareness of the manufacturing staff. 【Previous Challenges (Partial)】 - Some waste plastics with clear materials, such as PS and PP, could be recycled, but most were disposed of as mixed plastics due to unknown materials. - It was difficult to promote sorting within the process because the material and weight could not be visualized, leading to slow progress in primary sorting. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

[Usage Example] Acceptance/Shipping Inspection of Recycled Pellets

Recycled pellets can be easily categorized, which is expected to improve productivity!

We would like to introduce a case study on the use of the "resin identification handheld sensor" in the acceptance/shipping inspection of recycled pellets. There are cases where variations in the PP and PE ratios occur during the crushing and molding processes of recycled pellets. When the purity of the target material decreases, it ultimately affects the quality of the finished product. Therefore, inspections are conducted during the shipping and acceptance of recycled pellets to classify them by grade. By using pellets with consistent purity of PP and PE, the quality of recycled material products is stabilized. [Case Overview] ■ Target Companies: Pellet manufacturers, waste plastic recycling manufacturers ■ Challenges: Inconsistent purity of PP and PE affecting the quality of recycled material products ■ Effects: Identification by grade and provision of products with consistent quality *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

[Use Case] Quality Inspection of Incoming Goods from Domestic and International Sources

If you can easily perform quality checks in-house, you can prevent issues such as foreign matter contamination!

We would like to introduce a case study on the use of the "Resin Discrimination Handy Sensor" in quality inspection of incoming goods from both domestic and international sources. When accepting recycled products or parts manufactured overseas, there is a lack of know-how in quality inspection, leading to the use of external organizations. This sometimes results in the need for on-site visits to domestic and international factories for sampling inspections. Even toy parts, which have strict standards, can be easily inspected, ensuring product quality and preventing unnecessary costs. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Companies: Plastic product manufacturers, electronics manufacturers, toy manufacturers, cosmetics manufacturers ■ Challenges: Quality inspections are outsourced, requiring on-site visits for sampling inspections ■ Benefits: In-house quality inspections, reducing outsourcing and travel costs *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
