Intelligent Garbage Classifier

automatically separate different kinds of waste. The environmental problems and its treatment go back to the 15th century. Till then the rural society had not exceeded the capacity of the nature to be regenerated. It was necessary to wait until the 60s and 70s in order that the world began to arouse seriously on the real scope of the problem. The conference of Stockholm of the United Nations supposed a historical milestone, since it demonstrated for the first time the world worry for a problem related to the ecology. From then on, they did not stop repeating similar national and international manifestations. But it was in the 80s when the world realized the real problem: the migration of the field to the cities. To work correctly a hectare of city needs hundreds of Ht of sea, rivers, forests and fields. In the last two centuries the world population has increased unstoppably, passing from 1 billion inhabitants in 1800 to more than 6 billion today. This situation has gone, undoubtedly, accompanied of a growth of the energetic consumption of 6,000 %. At present, many countries and organizations carry out and support measures to correct the long-term situation. Is necessary to stand out the European model, which uses its power and representation to impose environmental obligations both to the member states and to the companies that act inside the area of the European Union. Among these obligations it emphasizes taking responsibility of the generated residues, being based on the principle: " the one who contaminates pays " In spite of these efforts the problem of the accumulation of residues is still present. The average European generates 517 kilos of garbage a year. The immense majority of these residues will end up by being deposited in dumps or being incinerated. Only a small percentage will be destined for the recycling.  Meanwhile, 100 million tons of residues accumulate in the pacific forming a real soup of waste that doubles the surface of the USA. The first step in the separation cycle is at home, the people should separate the garbage in different bags. The following step is to collect all the waste to a big recycling plant, that will complete the process of separation. And last the treatment and return of the materials. On the image below we can appreciate the methodology of current separation. Both automated sections are in the top right. …
