Due to large demand for plastic products large of plastic waste are being generated. All of these plastic waste contains plastic, paper, cardboard, and containers made up of plastic which generate environmental pollution and it is dangerous. This paper presents electrostatic phenomenon for plastic recycling area. The performance of electrostatic separation process depends on a multiple of factors such as characteristics of the MSW material to be sorted, the applied high voltage, and the

... ental conditions. The separation system receives municipal solid waste containing a mixture of MSW recyclable materials. The separation screen receive MSW recyclable materials from dumping ground. In separation stage, an electrostatic emitter is positioned adjacent to a conveyor for applying electrostatic charge on MSW recyclable materials. Conveying systems and method for detecting the presence of static electric charge in MSW material. The particles are separately collected according to their electrical properties.
