In a recycling system of the present invention for collecting a subject of recycling, which contains plastics, from the market and reprocessing the plastics to thereby produce a recycled product, the plastics contains a line spectrum radiation that radiates light when receiving ultraviolet rays or an electromagnetic wave. Recycle information particular to the subject of recycling is identified on the basis of the wavelengths of light radiated from the line spectrum radiation.

Recycling system and disassembling and classifying method

A toner recycling method and a toner recycling system use two personal computers and a display. A personal computer carries out management of information of toner, which is collected at a toner collection site. Another personal computer generates recycling information, which includes information about toner requirement of a granule manufacturer. A display at the toner collection site displays recycling information. Collected toner is used for manufacturing flux by mixing with aluminum dross, aluminum ash, aluminum dregs etc.

Toner recycling method and toner recycling system

A recycling method comprises classifying products to be recycled on the basis of classifier unit information, decomposing and fractionating some of the products on the basis of fractionator unit information. Applying a physical action to the fractionated products on the basis of physical action information. Producing a recycled material on the basis of recycled material producer unit information. Producing a recycled component from the recycled materials on the basis of recycled component producer unit information. The information required at each step is appropriately supplied.

Method of recycling

Information about a recycling item is input, a first sorting condition is prepared so as to sort the recycling item into one of a plurality of groups corresponding to conditions for decomposing the recycling item, a second sorting condition is prepared so as to sort recycling parts, which are obtained by decomposing the recycling item sorted out according to the first sorting condition, into at least one of a plurality of material groups corresponding to material of each of the recycling parts; a third sorting condition is prepared so as to sort the recycling parts sorted out according to the second sorting condition, into at least one of a plurality of processing groups corresponding to types of recycling processing to be carried out. Finally, the first, second, and the third sorting conditions are transmitted to respective fields where the recycling item and the recycling parts are sorted.
