Abstract
Sorting and separation systems may use the inherent electrostatic properties of plastic as the basis for separating different types of plastics from one another. Plastics of different types may charge to different degrees when subjected to a charging event. By appropriately charging a collection unit, plastic components of one type of plastic may be separated from other plastic components by electrostatic attraction.
