Abstract: A computer-implemented image-based property condition determination system and method are provided. The method includes determining one or more element condition ratings from individual images of the property; and determining an overall property condition based on available element condition ratings of the property. An overall condition rating of a portfolio comprising a plurality of properties is determined using the condition ratings of properties in the portfolio.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for densification of recyclable plastics. The densification apparatus may include one or more hoppers for receiving plastic materials (mixed or segregated by resin identification code). After the plastic is inserted into the hopper, a shredder grinds the plastic into plastic shreds which are suitably sized for subsequent melting and compression into an ingot. The system meters the quantity of shredded plastic within the hopper for a threshold level required to generate a fungible ingot. Once that level has been reached, a conveyer may transport a set volume or weight of the plastic shreds to a compression cylinder. In the compression cylinder the plastic shreds are heated, using a heating element, to above a minimum melting temperature. In some embodiments, the minimum melting temperature is a melting temperature above a lowest melting temperature of the mixed types of plastics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and method for monetization of recyclable plastics. Such systems includes a receptacle for receiving fungitized plastics, such as plastic ingots. The fungitized plastic can have a standardized form with a known value that is readily exchangeable for credit, discounts, or currency. Sensors are capable of identifying the fungitized plastic as substantially comporting to the standardized form, thereby confirming the plastic's composition, and weight/size in order to facilitate sorting and proper crediting for its value. The sensors can also identify fungitized plastics that do not match these standards, which are considered counterfeits and are returned to the user. A sorter collects all the identified fungitized plastic of a particular composition together with other plastic of similar composition. Similarly, a crediting system may reward the user for depositing the identified fungitized plastic.
