Modelling and simulation of a waste sorting mechatronic system for multi-floor residential buildings

Abstract

The paper presents modelling and simulation of a mechatronic sorting system for residential buildings where the “wet” garbage can be used as fuel in an energy generation system. The proposed system can be used for the implementation of a selective storage model in the actual garbage chute system. The proposed system will have five different storage capacities that can be recycled: paper, glass, plastic packaging, metal boxes and organic household waste.
