System and method for managing raw materials of industrial importance

A method for managing material recycling process comprising:

• providing first measured data indicative of one or more first electromagnetic radiation signatures embedded in one or more plastic materials in a product;
• analyzing the measured data to determine, for each of said one or more plastic materials, a respective plastic material condition data, wherein the respective plastic material condition data is indicative of preceding use of said plastic material;
• generating first sorting data for each of said one or more plastic materials, based on the respective plastic material condition;
• and
• generating marking data for at least one of said one or more plastic materials, based on the first sorting data, wherein the marking data includes data indicative of at least one marker to be introduced into each of said one or more plastic materials to provide electromagnetic radiation signal for managing a recycling process said one or more plastic material.

A management system for use in managing material recycling process, the system being configured as a computer system comprising data input and output utilities, a memory and a processing circuitry, wherein:

• the data input utility is configured to receive input data comprising first measured data indicative of one or more electromagnetic radiation signatures embedded in one or more plastic materials in a product;
• said processing circuitry comprises:
• an analyzer configured and operable to be responsive to the first measured data to analyze it and determine, for each of said one or more plastic materials, a respective plastic material condition indicative of preceding use of said plastic material;
• a sorting data generator configured and operable to determine sorting data for each of said one or more plastic materials, based on the respective plastic material condition;
• and
• a marking data generator configured and operable to determine marking data for each of said one or more plastic materials, based on the sorting data, wherein the marking data includes at least one marker to be introduced into each of said one or more plastic materials to provide electromagnetic radiation signal for managing a recycling process of the plastic material.
