    Expectations regarding augmented realities (AR) produce a range of anticipatory imaginations, ranging from hyperbolic visions to fears of entangled risks, negative effects and dystopian futures. On the one hand, assessing visions of emerging technologies brings to the fore the political economy of research and development of such technologies. On the other, developing plausible scenarios seeks to stimulate active socio-political negotiations regarding which futures are desirable (or not) and should (not) be pursued. AR technology may become a highly influential shaper of public spaces, and therefore the futures of humanistic and democratic societies. We introduce the methodology and results of an iterative survey-based scenario-building process, collecting highly interdisciplinary perspectives on augmented reality use in public spaces within the next decade. We outline four ‘extreme ends’ of plausible futures: ‘autocratic augmented reality’, ‘big-tech monopoly’, ‘DIY proliferation’ and ‘participatory public space’, concluding with a discussion of what effects these scenarios would have on societies, and a critical reflection on the scenario-building process and its limits.

    Today, plastic is a ubiquitous material with good mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties and therefore used in many industrial sectors. The biggest challenge in recycling plastic waste is to separate the different types of plastic to a high degree of homogeneity. Waste sorting plants use automated sensorbased sorting systems to separate different plastics from each other. Many engineering plastics, such as polyoxymethylene (POM), end up in mixed waste streams, are not detected by sorting systems, and are therefore currently rarely or not at all recycled. Markerbased sorting is an innovative approach to improving recycling rates and achieving the recycling targets of the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP). For this, the marker materials are incorporated into plastics, which can only then be detected by automated sorting systems to subsequently achieve improved homogenisation. However, marker­based sorting is currently not economical because of the expected high implementation costs. Consequently, expensive technical plastics show the greatest potential for marker­based sorting. For example, POM from plastic components of waste electrical and electronic equipmentcould be separated by type and recycled. This dossier provides an overview of advanced materials with spectroscopic “fingerprints” and suitable detection methods that can be usedfor marker­based sorting.
