Invention: All-seeing garbage sorter

An important heads up for an invention, here: Invention: All-seeing garbage sorter - tech - 16 June 2008 - New Scientist Tech: it could drive down the cost of rubbish sorting quite a bit which means the recovery costs for recycling could go down quite considerably. "Hyperspectral cameras are mainly developed for military use. But Donald Cowling and Neil Randall from the military research company Qinetiq say one such camera could discriminate all types of plastic, metal and glass"
And that means a better uptake of recycling ...
