Definitions

  • Container made of recyclable plastic and method and device for taking back such a container
  • the invention relates to a container made of plastic, which has a filling space bordered by a wall made of recyclable plastic for accommodating a filling, in particular a food or drink.
  • the invention also relates to a method for taking back such a pack and a device for taking back such a pack.
  • Containers made of recyclable plastic e.g. beverage bottles, yoghurt cups, thermoformed film packaging for cold cuts and the like are well known.
  • the various packaging can be made of various recyclable plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. Most of the plastics are thermoplastics, which can be melted and processed into granules, which in turn can be used to manufacture new plastic products.
  • the plastics are often identified by corresponding abbreviations such as PET, PE, PP etc. embossed into the packaging, but reading such identifications is difficult if not impossible if the packaging is deformed or destroyed.
  • the object of the invention is to recognize containers made of recyclable plastic with regard to the plastic used and, if necessary, to sort them.
  • a container made of plastic is proposed to solve this problem, which as a component of the container has in particular a filling space bordered by a wall made of recyclable plastic for receiving a filling, in particular a foodstuff or drink.
  • the plastic that forms the part of the container has at least one molecule that can be excited electromagnetically—preferably several fluorescent color pigments—that targeted electromagnetic excitation causes a response signal that can be detected by a sensor and can be used to identify the at least one molecule and thus the plastic that forms the part of the container is.
  • a container can also have several components made of different plastics.
  • the different plastics also have different, electromagnetically excitable molecules, in particular different fluorescent color pigments, which themselves or their combination are characteristic of the respective type of plastic.
  • fluorescent color pigments are added to the different substrates (plastics from the bottle body and lid) during the production of a plastic beverage bottle, for example, and these are distributed homogeneously in the still liquid plastic.
  • a sort-specific differentiation according to the plastic substrate mixture can be carried out in a downstream process of waste collection and/or recycling using optical-physical methods.
  • the containers are guided past one or more radiation or light sources emitting electromagnetic radiation, in particular light, with one or more specific wavelengths, and the color pigments fp1, fp2, fp3, etc. are excited differently as a result.
  • the decay curve and/or constant of each individual pigment fp1, fp2, fp3, etc. can be determined using a camera.
  • the molecule is a fluorescent colored pigment.
  • the plastic particularly preferably has a combination of several different electromagnetically excitable molecules.
  • the plastic forming the wall preferably has a defined proportion of electromagnetically excitable molecules, which is between 0.1% and 1% of the mass.
  • the plastic that forms a part of the container preferably contains a combination of different electromagnetically excitable molecules, in particular different fluorescent color pigments, that is specifically predetermined for a type of plastic.
  • a label containing at least one electromagnetically excitable molecule analogous to the substrate mixture is preferably applied to the container. This allows the integrity of the combination of container and label to be checked using the at least one electromagnetically excitable molecule. It can thus be recognized if, for example, a counterfeit sticker is applied as a label to a container, which usually does not have the correct electromagnetically excitable molecule. In this context, it is also advantageous if the label has a product identification printed on it, which can serve as a further test criterion for an authenticity test.
  • Another aspect relates to a method for taking back and automatically sorting containers made of recyclable plastic, in which a container is introduced into an analysis room and exposed to electromagnetic radiation, in particular light of a specified wavelength or a specified wavelength range, and a response signal by means of a sensor, in particular an image sensor and the course of the sensor output signal detected by the sensor during and/or immediately after the container is exposed to electromagnetic radiation is evaluated with regard to the presence or absence of an electromagnetically excitable molecule in the plastic of the container.
  • electromagnetic radiation in particular light of a specified wavelength or a specified wavelength range
  • the device has a return space into which a container to be returned can be placed.
  • the device has a radiation source which is arranged and designed to apply electromagnetic radiation, in particular light, to a container placed in the return space.
  • a sensor is also provided, in particular an optical sensor which is arranged and controlled in such a way that it detects a response signal that may be emitted by the container during or immediately after the container introduced into the return space is exposed to electromagnetic radiation of the radiation wave and delivers a sensor output signal that represents this.
  • An evaluation unit is connected to the sensor and is designed to evaluate the sensor output signal detected by the sensor during and/or immediately after the container is exposed to electromagnetic radiation with regard to the presence or absence of an electromagnetically excitable molecule in the plastic of the container.
  • the device has a sorting unit which is arranged and designed to sort the containers to be taken back as a function of the sensor output signal detected by the sensor during and/or immediately after the container is exposed to electromagnetic radiation and evaluated by the evaluation unit.

  • the various plastics from which the various container components can be made should otherwise, namely by electromagnetically excitable mo- lekule, in particular fluorescent color pigments are marked.
  • a type of plastic can be identified in this way by a fluorescent color pigment or by a combination of different fluorescent color pigments.
  • Different color pigments can differ from other color pigments because they can be excited by light with different wavelengths or because the fluorescence caused by the excitation decays differently. Accordingly, when illuminated with light, different color pigments can excite a wavelength that can be specific to the respective color pigment.
  • the fluorescence caused by the excitation of a respective color pigment can be detected by means of an optical sensor, which can be part of a camera, and its decay can be analyzed.
  • a container component with plastic that contains color pigments is briefly illuminated with light of a specific wavelength that is suitable for exciting the fluorescence of one or more color pigments, the excited fluorescence occurs. However, this fades away after the excitation.
  • the intensity when the fluorescence decays typically follows a decay curve that is characteristic of the respective color pigment.
  • the presence of a specific color pigment can thus be detected on the basis of the course of the decay curve and the excitation wavelength used.
  • it is also possible to detect several different color pigments that a plastic can contain It is therefore possible to identify a specific plastic and a specific type of plastic by adding a color pigment or a characteristic, predetermined combination of color pigments.

  • the excitation can take place with different wavelengths that are precisely matched to the color pigments provided for marking the plastic or the type of plastic.
