Here at ASN Technologies, we tackle modern problems with modern solutions. In the world of recycling, the auto-sorting of plastics through near-infrared radiation is getting popular but a problem has arisen. Near-infrared optical sorting cannot identify and separate plastics that contain carbon black. We at ASN have created a carbon-free black that is detectable by NIR optical sorting and that is a much more sustainable alternative, because at ASN Technologies, we believe that a sustainable and brighter future is not a distant dream, but a collective responsibility.
