摘要:IN THE CONTEXT OF A HIGHLY JUSTIFIED GLOBAL INTEREST TO COLLECT, RECYCLE AND REUSEWASTES FOR REDUCING NATURAL RESOURCES EXPLOITATION AND PROTECTING THEENVIRONMENT, THIS STUDY PRESENTS THE INNOVATIVE CONCEPT OF A MODULAR FULLYAUTOMATED INSTALLATION FOR THE SEPARATE COLLECTING OF PLASTIC AND GLASSRECIPIENTS, ALUMINUM CANS, CARDBOARD, PAPER, LARGE AND SMALL ELECTRIC ANDELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. AUTOMATIZING THIS COLLECTING ACTIVITY ALLOWS RAISING THERECOVERED QUANTITY OF WASTES, DECREASING THE LOGISTICS COSTS, ELIMINATINGPOTENTIAL BOTTLENECKS IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT ERRORS, AND REDUCING AT MAXIMUM THEPRESENCE OF HUMAN OPERATORS. THE PROPOSED SOLUTION ENSURES A COLLECTINGPROGRAM OF 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK. MODULARIZATION PROVIDES A FASTRECONFIGURATION OF THE INSTALLATION BASED ON THE RECYCLING STATISTICAL DATASPECIFIC TO DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC ZONES REGARDING THE TYPE AND QUANTITY OF WASTES.
