Real-time methods for solid waste characterisation Cranfield researchers are investigating ways to characterise waste during the waste management process to implement the recovery of valuable material resources whilst reducing contamination levels. By improving efficiencies using process analytical technology tools, such as existing sensor technologies that can measure critical waste characteristics, waste management facilities could provide the data required by existing legislation, potentially aid waste treatment processes and assist stakeholders in decision making.
