Abstract: A system and method for materials recovery using a mobile materials recovery facility (MMRF) are provided. The presently disclosed subject matter aims to replace manual sorting lines and techniques with a mobile, robotized sorting line to automate the separation by using, for example, cameras, artificial intelligence assisted hyperspectral material recognition algorithms, and/or other sensor technologies (such as optical, RADAR, SONAR, and/or LIDAR), for treatment and removal of contaminations in the recycling, organics and residues streams.
