Project description
Innovative multisensor sorting tool for PVB recycling
Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used as an interlayer in laminated glass in construction components. In the EU, glass waste from renovation and demolition reaches more than 1.5 million tonnes per year. As recycling PVB presents several difficulties that prevent its reuse as an interlayer, only 9 % of PVB is recycled. The EU-funded SUNRISE project will demonstrate – within the existing glass recycling sector – an innovative optical multisensor sorting tool that enables post-consumer PVB recycling according to different qualities and reuse as interlayer film. The tool relies on industrial in-line techniques, such as Raman, infrared, fluorescence and optical spectroscopy, and AI algorithms.
