I have seen automatic sorters of recyclable bottles/cans in German 
supermarkets that had an entrance chute which then spun the bottle/can to 
read the original barcode and the would either reject it or direct it to 
the correct waste bin, crushing it on the way.  I imagine there were bins 
out back that were full of crushed alumium cans, steel cans, PET plastic, 
clear glass etc etc

The main thing getting in the way of implementing such a solution for 
hackspace would be access to an extensive product library of all the 
barcodes
