Intelligent Classification of Different Types of Plastics using Deep Transfer Learning

Plastic pollution has affected millions globally. Research shows tiny plastics in the food we eat, the water we drink, and even in the air, we breathe. An average human intakes 74,000 micro-plastic every year, which significantly affects the health of living beings. This pollution must be administered before it severely impacts the world. We have substantially compared three state-of-the-art models on the WaDaBa dataset, which contains different types of plastics. These models are capable of classifying different types of plastic wastes which canbe reused or recycled, thus limiting their wastage.
